[Saba Sports News] Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font, who is currently campaigning for the club’s presidency, recently spoke about former team star Lionel Messi in a media interview. He stated that if elected, he would try every means to bring Messi back to the club, hoping he could eventually retire at Barcelona. It is worth mentioning that in November, when Messi visited Spain with the Argentine national team, he specifically visited the renovated Camp Nou stadium and expressed his deep nostalgia for Barcelona on social media, explicitly stating his hope to return in a suitable manner, especially since he did not get a proper farewell as a player when he left. We believe that Messi, as one of the greatest players in Barcelona’s history, is almost synonymous with a glorious era for the club. Inviting Messi back to conclude his playing career is the ardent wish of countless Barcelona fans. The presidential election is expected to be held between March and May 2026, marking the second direct contest between Font and Joan Laporta; Font lost to Laporta in the 2021 election.
