Xavi said that Laporta ruined Messi's return with his own hands.

New details have been revealed regarding Lionel Messi's return, one of the most significant and controversial events in the history of FC Barcelona. Zamin.uz reported on this.

In a recent interview, the club's former head coach Xavi Hernandez expressed very sensational and delicate opinions about club president Joan Laporta. According to Xavi, by the 2023 season, the return of the legendary footballer to the team had nearly been confirmed.

Although La Liga's administration officially granted permission to register the Argentine star, the club president obstructed the finalization of this process. According to Xavi, Laporta personally opposed this transfer and ruined the deal with his own hands.

The coach stated that he had conducted serious negotiations with Lionel Messi for several months, and the footballer was very eager to return to Barcelona. Xavi even spoke at length with Messi's father, Jorge, viewing this transfer as the most legendary event in the club's history.

However, President Laporta stated that Messi's return was politically inconvenient for him and feared it would spark opposition against him. As a result, this decision forced the Argentine star to move to Inter Miami.

These events also negatively affected the relationship between Xavi and Messi. Initially, Messi believed that Xavi was also involved in this plan, but later the situation became fully clear.

Xavi added that Messi will never return to Barcelona, noting that the reason is not financial issues but rather Laporta's lack of desire. This information has sparked great interest among Catalan fans.
