Lionel Messi discussed his emotional connection to Barcelona and his attempts to return after the 2022 World Cup, revealing that financial constraints blocked the possibility. After leaving Barcelona when they could not afford a new contract, he joined Paris Saint-Germain. Following a successful World Cup campaign that saw Argentina crowned champions, Messi sought to return to his roots at Camp Nou. However, he recognized the financial issues the club faced and declined to contribute to any stability issues, leading him to join Inter Miami instead.
After the World Cup, I couldn't see myself playing for any other European team other than Barca. My goal was to return. To return to my home, where it all began. But unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
I heard that they had to sell players or reduce players' salaries, and the truth is that I didn't want to go through that or take responsibility for something related to all of that.
