[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Lionel Messi is interested in returning to Barcelona in the future, but not at the moment, as he does not want to get involved in the club’s elections. It is reported that Barcelona will hold elections in a few days, and if Messi were to publicly support a candidate, he would certainly garner many votes. However, Messi has no plans to participate in the elections; he intends to remain completely neutral and not favor any candidate.
Messi is currently preparing for the World Cup, which is likely to be his last. He is interested in returning to the club in the future as part of his plans, although it is still unclear in what capacity he will return. He has decided to come back one day, but this will not happen during the election period.
In the last election, although he did not publicly express his support, he was a player and captain of Barcelona at the time, and his support leaned towards Laporta to some extent. However, their relationship subsequently soured, and Messi felt betrayed by Laporta. Since then, Laporta has made several attempts to communicate with Messi, but Messi has consistently kept his distance.
Despite the current tension between Messi and Laporta, he does not want to support any candidate in this election. He will watch the situation unfold and consider the possibility of returning to Barcelona after the World Cup.
