"For me to make speculation that is unrealistic, nor do I think is fair, I believe that is not appropriate."
"not just to say goodbye, [but] as a player."
Lionel Messi left Barcelona in 2021 after a 17-year spell, scoring 664 goals in 766 appearances across all competitions. The 38-year-old has played for Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami, signing a new two-year deal with the MLS side last month. Messi visited the Camp Nou during its renovation and said he would like to return 'not just to say goodbye, [but] as a player.' Joan Laporta described speculation about Messi returning as unrealistic and inappropriate. There was no official farewell in 2021 due to the club's financial difficulties and COVID-19 restrictions. Laporta hopes to hold a tribute match at the renovated Camp Nou.
