Messi's Next Move? Barcelona Elections Loom
5 Feb
Summary
- Messi is not endorsing any candidate in Barcelona's elections.
- He plans to return to Barcelona post-World Cup.
- Messi feels betrayed by current president Laporta.
The upcoming Barcelona presidential elections on March 15 will see Joan Laporta, the clear favorite, seeking re-election. Messi, currently playing for Inter Miami in the United States, is not expected to endorse any candidate. He is prioritizing his commitment to Inter Miami and preparing for his likely final World Cup with Argentina.
Messi has expressed a desire to return to Barcelona in the future, but not during the current election cycle. His relationship with current president Joan Laporta is strained, stemming from a past failed contract renewal and a subsequent attempt to re-sign him. Despite feeling let down, Messi aims to remain neutral in the elections.
Following the conclusion of the World Cup, Messi plans to consider his future return to Barcelona. His current focus remains on his playing career and the international tournament, choosing to distance himself from the club's internal political affairs for now.
