LIONEL MESSI has hinted at a return to boyhood club Barcelona from Inter Miami after leaving with a "bitter taste" in 2021.<\/p>\n
The Argentine football icon revealed the emotional transfer after collecting his eighth Ballon d'Or on Monday night – extending his winning record.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Due to Barcelona\u2019s financial woes, Messi had to depart from Camp Nou in 2021 as the club could not afford to renew his contract.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old then headed to the French capital and joined Paris Saint-Germain until the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n
Some fans speculated that the GOAT would go back to Barcelona but Messi chose to join the MLS instead.<\/p>\n
But after winning football's most prestigious award for the eighth time in Paris on Monday, Messi confirmed he wants to have a proper farewell with Barcelona fans.<\/p>\n
