Barcelona remains hopeful of re-signing Lionel Messi, and they feel it’s more feasible than ever. However, before bringing him back to Camp Nou, the team needs to make room in their squad.
According to El Nacional, the first player to leave could be Raphinha, who has been underwhelmed since his arrival in La Liga.

Additionally, Anssumane Fati is also expected to depart, which would generate significant funds and free up the coveted number 10 jersey for Messi. Messi was reportedly jealous of Fati’s growing popularity among Barcelona fans, which contributed to their strained relationship, along with Fati changing his representation to Jorge Mendes.
Barcelona President Joan Laporta has hinted at the possibility of Messi returning to the club. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Laporta acknowledged the need for an attacking player and a central defender but emphasized that the club would have to offload some players to make deals happen.
“Barça will have to sign a winger and central defender, as long as there is a good opportunity. Surely, a striker will come, but someone will have to leave,” Laporta said.
Laporta’s comments came shortly after he met with Messi’s father, Jorge Messi. “Yes, I met Jorge Messi,” Laporta confirmed.
