According to LaLiga President Javier Tebas, Sergio Busquets’ departure from Barcelona could be a step towards bringing Lionel Messi back to the Camp Nou. Busquets, who has been with Barcelona for 18 years, announced his departure from the club after his contract expires at the end of the season. He is the last member of Pep Guardiola’s legendary team still at the club, following the departures of Messi and Gerard Pique.
Sergio Busquets’ imminent departure from Barcelona could pave the way for Lionel Messi to make a sensational Camp Nou homecoming, according to LaLiga president Javier Tebas.
Tebas suggested that Busquets’ departure could be the beginning of the road for Messi’s return to Barcelona, but the club still has a long way to go to make it happen, and their financial difficulties continue to complicate matters. While Messi is set to leave PSG next month, a return to Barcelona is uncertain, with reports linking him to a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia.
Despite the uncertainty, Tebas believes that Messi’s return to Barcelona is possible if the club can manage their finances. While Messi’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia caused controversy with PSG, who suspended him for traveling without permission, it remains to be seen where the superstar will end up next season.
