Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, declared on Monday that the team will “do everything possible” to re-sign Lionel Messi during the off-season.
The attacker from Paris Saint-Germain is expected to leave when his contract ends in the summer, and Barcelona, the current La Liga champions, are trying to entice their all-time leading scorer back despite intense interest from Saudi Arabia.
After a spectacular period at Barcelona, when he won four Champions League and ten La Liga championships and is still revered by the supporters there, Messi has had two underwhelming seasons in Paris.
