Jorge Messi confirmed after half an hour of discussions with the club president: "Leo wants to come back, we believe it can happen" If La Liga approval does come, Barcelona could make Messi a concrete offer, but signing a contract will only be possible after the club sells a number of players who are not in the plans. France reported that representatives of Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal are also expected to meet with Jorge Messi in France, asking the star's father to wait.
It's unclear how accurate the foreign reports are about Saudi Arabia, but it was recently reported that Al Hil al is willing to pay Flea over $1 billion in a two-year contract.
