Barcelona president Joan Laporta and new signing Dani Alves have not ruled out a sensational return to the Camp Nou for both Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta.
The Argentine superstar spent 21 years with the Catalan side, winning every trophy, however, joined PSG due to the Catalan side’s financial problems this summer.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Laporta opened the door for both Lionel Messi and club legend Andres Iniesta to return in the future:
“I do not rule it out. It has happened with Dani, who has already said that age is just a number and has also made a significant financial effort to return.
“You are talking about two spectacular players, with Leo [Messi] and Andres [Iniesta]. I cannot predict the future, they are still playing.
“We will always keep them in mind, but at the moment they have current contracts with other clubs. You never know in life.”
Dani Alves echoed the president’s sentiments and called Lionel Messi the ‘greatest player’ he has ever played with:
“What can I say? If you give me a couple of hours I will look for him! He is the greatest player I have been able to see and have as a teammate.
“The great players are always missed when they leave. It would be incredible to be able to see him here again. Unfortunately, he is not here.
“I would encourage all former players to come back as there is nowhere to be found that is better than here.”
