All eyes are on Messi’s return to Barcelona.
Messi is the greatest legend in Barcelona’s history. He holds the record for most appearances and most goals in Barcelona’s history. After leaving the club in a tearful press conference in 2021, Messi has been linked with a return to Barcelona this summer.
Messi, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season, has been linked with a move to another team, with Saudi Arabia, Major League Soccer in the United States, and a return to Barcelona all being mentioned. The local media is still favoring a return to Barcelona. It would be a true homecoming for Barcelona.
Barcelona won the Spanish Primera Liga (La Liga) title this season for the first time without Messi. After clinching the title early, all eyes were on Messi’s return. Even Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez’s press conferences have been dominated by talk of Messi’s return.
At his press conference on the 23rd, he was asked about Messi’s return, to which he replied, “It’s entirely up to Messi if he wants to return to Barcelona. He’s a great player, he’s a close friend of mine, and his decision is important. I have nothing more to say.”
While everyone is focusing on Messi, there are voices saying that he is not the most important thing for Barcelona right now. The most important thing is Sergio Busquets. Busquets, who played alongside Messi during Barcelona’s golden era, is leaving the club at the end of the season, so the most urgent position for Barcelona is to find a replacement.
Since Messi’s departure, Barcelona has, to a certain extent, become a team without him. This season’s La Liga title is proof of that.
But Busquets is different. He was an integral part of the team that won La Liga this season. His departure could be the biggest threat to Barcelona’s power. Finding a replacement for Busquets will determine the fate of Barcelona next season.메이저사이트
Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste emphasized the importance of this. “Our most important signing right now is to find a replacement for Busquets. We need a top-class central midfielder for next season. We need to find him in every way possible.”
According to local media, the likes of Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City) and Nabil Neves (Wolverhampton) have been mentioned as possible replacements for Busquets.
