Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: the “Little sister” interview with Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset!
A year after his departure from FC Barcelona, and despite the club’s XXL recruitment this summer, Lionel Messi still leaves a big void in Catalonia. If Joan Laporta has publicly affirmed his desire to bring La Pulga back in the summer of 2023, it is now Xavi who has done the same.
Xavi wants Messi back
Indeed, in comments reported by Fabrizio Romano, the current coach of the Blaugranas has more than opened the door to a return of the sevenfold Ballon d’Or in Catalonia:
“I wish Messi’s time at Barcelona wasn’t over. I think he deserves a second step here at FCB. I want that. If the question is whether I would like him back? The answer is a resounding yes!” he blurted out. As a reminder, next year, the Argentine star will have the choice between extending to PSG or finding himself free of any contract.
