“Barcelona” fans should not nurture hopes that legendary forward Lionel Messi will return to the team next summer.

As “Sport” writes, the Catalan club tried to clarify such a possibility, but the player himself disrupts the plans of “La Liga” representatives.

It is said that the veteran constantly ignores calls from President Joan Laporta's representative and refuses to respond to them.

"The Athletic" previously wrote that L. Messi is leaning towards a move to the MLS league - Inter Miami has already held intensive talks with the player's father and agent Jorge.

Next summer, the forward can become a free agent as his contract with the French team expires.
