The Mirror have stated that Jorge’s meeting with Laporta last month was about a special match being played at Camp Nou to honour Messi once he steps away from European football.

However, it seems unlikely that they would have ignored the topic of Messi’s future given his camp have received confirmation of Barcelona’s interest through a third party, according to the Mirror.

Messi’s current contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of June and there remains much uncertainty over where he will be playing next season.

Messi has scored 19 goals for Christophe Galtier’s PSG this season, with 14 of those coming during Ligue 1 fixtures and four from Champions League games.

During his time at Barcelona, Messi scored 672 goals in Spain which cemented his status as one of the greatest players ever.
