Lionel Messis father and representative Jorge Messi said on Thursday it is unlikely his son will return to play for Barcelona.
The 35-year-old signed for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 after the Catalan club were unable to renew his deal because of La Ligas financial fair play rules.
I dont think so, the conditions arent right, Jorge Messi told reporters at Barcelona airport.
He said he had not spoken to Barcelona president Joan Laporta about a deal and that Messi has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
Messis deal with PSG is set to expire in the summer and at present he has not agreed new terms.
Life takes many turns, said Jorge Messi, when asked if he would like to see his son play for Barcelona again.
The Argentina forward, who won the World Cup in December, joined Barcelona as a 13 year old and became a club legend.
Messi won 35 trophies with Barcelona, scoring a record 672 goals in 778 games across all competitions.
