JAKARTA - Real Madrid are reported to have the intention of preventing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Lionel Messi from returning to his former club Barcelona.
The information was conveyed by the Spanish radio station, COPE. However, they did not specify how Los Blancos' strategy was to thwart the Argentine international's plan to return to Camp Nou.
"(Real) Madrid are trying to kill (the chances of) Messi's return to Barcelona," Barcelona history special journalist Frederic Porta told COPE.
Messi left Barcelona in the summer of 2021. He left his boyhood club for PSG on a free transfer after not finding a contract extension solution.
The French giants accepted La Pulga and tied him to a two-year contract. However, since then the issue of returning to the Catalan club has never stopped blowing.

The 35-year-old player still has a contract with PSG until the end of this season. However, Les Parisiens have the option to extend La Pulga's contract for another year.
Some reports say that Barcelona, who have great intentions for a reunion with their former star before he retires, have even made talks about their desire.
However, Madrid's evil plans emerged to thwart their rivals' attempts to bring home Messi. PSG as the owner of the player can help the club from the Spanish capital.
It should be noted that PSG are still interested in tying Messi to a new contract. They reportedly intend to arrest the owner of the seven Ballon d'Or for sporting and economic reasons.
It's just that currently Messi is still focused on the 2022 World Cup later this year in Qatar. He will not make a decision on his future until the tournament concludes in December.
For that, Les Parisien have the opportunity to help Los Blancos by convincing Messi to sign a contract extension. That's one way that Madrid can realize their intentions.
