Xavi opens door to Messi's Barça return: It depends on his intentions
Messi is out of contract next month and must soon decide on his next move
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández has taken a position on the possible return of Leo Messi to the club, although with many precautions because his signing is far from being a done deal.
"It's up in the air, it depends on many things," he said. "There is little more I can say, he is a spectacular footballer, I have a friendship with him and we will see if it can happen or not, it depends a lot on his intentions."
This is what Xavi said in the preview for the Valladolid-Barça game this Tuesday.
The Barça coach fervently desires the return of the Argentine World Cup winner and has not hidden that, although he knows the complexity of the operation.
With just over a month to go until Messi's contract expires with Paris Saint-Germain, Xavi has entrusted him to decide his own future.
