Leo Messi has become a secondary figure in the Barcelona elections. Although just a few days ago Marc Ciria presented his project for his return to the club with a large banner above Diagonal AvenueVíctor Font has announced his plan to bring Messi "home." His proposal includes seeing the greatest player in history back in action, but goes further: he wants him to be honorary president of Barça. "As everyone knows, the only obstacle to Messi's return is Joan Laporta," he asserted. According to the Barça presidential candidate, he presented the proposal to Messi's family over a year ago and it has the player's approval: "We've spoken with everyone." As Font presented it, his plan consists of three pillars: institutionally, they consider it important to bring back an "icon" who "exports Barça to the world." For this reason, the leader of Nosotros proposes that the members' assembly approve a statutory reform that would allow Messi to be named honorary president of the club, a lifetime position previously held only by Johan Cruyff. In the sporting arena, Font has stated that he wants Messi to "say goodbye to Barcelona fans on the pitch." However, his role will have to be defined according to "the player's wishes, the sporting director's criteria, and the coach's plans." "We mustn't forget that Messi has been deceived twice: in 2021, when he arrived in Barcelona to renew his contract, and in 2023, when he wanted to return to the club of his life with Xavi Hernández. After raising his hopes, the board once again closed the door on him."

After Leo Messi stepped onto the Camp Nou pitch for the first time on Sunday, new words of love from the Argentine towards Barça and Catalonia have surfaced this Tuesday. Two weeks ago, the Barça legend gave an interview to the newspaper Sport before his brief return to the Catalan capital. The conversation was published this Tuesday. 24 hours after the Argentine star made a surprise appearance The new Barça stadium. After being asked repeatedly about Barcelona, ​​the best player in history explains that he is "very eager" to return and that he and his family miss the city a lot. "My wife, my children, and I talk constantly about things in Barcelona. The idea is to move back," he says.

To begin with, it has been confirmed what we reported last Thursday: the transfer of all tax revenue to the Catalan Tax Agency (Agència Tributària de Catalunya) was stalled in negotiations between Esquerra Republicana (ERC), the Spanish government, and the Spanish government. The rest of the negotiations, especially those aimed at determining the revenue increase, were progressing well, but the Catalan Tax Agency was resisting. The transfer of tax revenue to the Catalan Tax Agency presents a twofold obstacle. First, technically, because it raises concerns about the power of the Spanish Treasury and transferring it to another administration. And second, politically. The Treasury is a state institution, and tax inspectors oppose the transfer, partly because they believe Sánchez's fall is imminent, which would also bring down the entire negotiation process.

Leo Messi has returned to the Camp Nou pitch. The best player in the history of football, who today begins a training camp in Algorfa (Alicante) with the Argentine national team, He visited the Barcelona stadium this Sunday.He did it at night and didn't hide his post on social media: "Yesterday I returned to a place I miss with all my heart. A place where I was immensely happy, where you all made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. I hope I can return someday, and not just to say goodbye as a player," as I never get to say goodbye as a player. In this post, Messi shared five slightly blurry photos (three inside Camp Nou and two nearby) and a video in which he observes the stadium from the street.

Since leaving Barcelona, the Messi family has never hidden their love for Barça and Catalonia. Now, from Miami, Lionel Messi's family celebrated the thirteenth birthday of their eldest son, Thiago, surrounded by Barça crests and references to the club. And not even the star player could resist. Neither the Argentine nor his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, have made any effort to hide it. In fact, quite the opposite: they both shared pictures of the celebration on their Instagram accounts. In them, there's even an inflatable with the Barça crest and balloons in what appear to be the colors of the flag.
