In France, they line up with the latest reports, and claim: there is a slight chance that Leo Messi will continue with Paris Saint-Germain next season.

According to the nightly report in "L'Equipe", most likely Messi will leave, after the talks between him and the club reached a dead end, and in recent weeks there has even been another estrangement.

In order for Messi to remain in Paris after all, an unexpected scenario has to materialize, they claim in France - in which the star will agree to a very significant cut in his salary.

Messi, for his part, is not impressed by the project built in PSG from a sporting point of view, and for the time being he and his associates "are not ready to flex on anything" to stay at the club.

What obviously contributes to the developments surrounding Messi, is the feeling that he was not able to fully acclimatize in Paris from a public and social point of view, and certainly the connection was not as strong as in Barcelona.

The hostile treatment that Messi has been receiving in recent weeks from the team's fans, including booing in the last league game against Ran, further sharpened his feeling that he should not continue at the club.

At the same time, Barcelona is preparing its official offer to Messi, in the hope that it can bring him back to the club of his life, even though the financial situation of the club is problematic to say the least.

According to the journalist Fabrizio Romano, "Xavi has a decisive part in this story. He calls Messi over and over and over again, non-stop, and talks to him about the possibility of a comeback. He and Messi have an excellent relationship, and he is pushing hard for a return to Barcelona. This could be a factor Very significant in Leo's decision."

So how does the Barcelona dressing room deal with the rumors and speculation about the return of the flea to the club?

There is no doubt that these days it is very difficult to isolate yourself from outside noise, especially at Barça, where every rumor becomes a headline.

And when it comes to the possible return of Messi, in Spain they claim that "the dressing room is flying about it like a hurricane", and everyone is talking about the "soap opera that awaits the team in the summer", according to "El Pais".

It should be noted that most players treat the possibility that Messi will arrive with skepticism, and do not want to develop expectations.

Everyone knows the financial situation of the club.

Some of the players believe that if the deviation from fair play does not allow the signing of the contracts of Gabi, Araújo, Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso because they have not yet been able to register - how is it realistic to think about Messi's return?

In addition, a large part of the players in the locker room are surprised to hear about the candidacy of Gundoin, Foyth, Vitor Roca and the like - but remember that there were also financial problems last summer, yet the team managed to sign Lewandowski, Conde and more.

On the professional side, there is absolute consensus when it comes to the quality that Leo will bring to a roster that is currently not overflowing with talent.

The team knows that it has difficulty with static attacks and standing play, and the flea's ability to find spaces will make "life much more comfortable" for the attacking players.

Of course, in defense someone will have to compensate for Leo's distinct attacking profile - as Rakitic has done, for example, in the past.

But it also affects the senior, veteran players, and their decision whether to continue or leave.

The hard core of the staff is also the most in touch with Messi.

Everyone knows that Sergi Busquets' decision depends, in part, on Messi's future.

Sergi Roberto also admitted a few days ago that the dressing room is waiting for Leo "with open arms".

Jordi Alba, with a contract until 2024, will also see in the Argentine's return another reason to continue as a Barca player, beyond their great chemistry on the field.

For the youngsters, being in the dressing room with the best player in history was "a source of pride."

To do it again would be a "real privilege", as the youngsters say, and it would also relieve them of the pressure, as all eyes will obviously be on the Argentine.

In addition, Messi's departure rearranged some roles and positions on the field, but the feeling is that Leo's return will not have a negative effect, as there is not too much load in the front, and the coach is not committed to a specific template or formation.

Been through a lot together, good and bad.

Even senior veterans Ter Stegen or Lewandowski are not a problem in the slightest.

Today the dressing room is unified.

Since Messi left Barca, affection has developed between him and Ter Stegen, as the goalkeeper wrote him a public letter in which he supported him, after they previously had differences of opinion.

Lewandowski also expressed great appreciation for Messi, and according to the report, "is aware that Messi's quality can create more space for him and, as a result, more situations for goals."

Barcelona will be ready to run for Messi, right?

Yesterday the commentator and former French player Emmanuel Petty attacked PSG and recommended that Messi leave: "The whistles for Messi are an insult to football and if I can give Leo a piece of advice, leave this club.

"I hear many critics say that Messi walks on the field.

But any of us who followed Messi since he was Messi, even in the good days of Barca, even then he was gone.

Messi is the master of the orchestra, he is the director and the others are actors around him, they are the ones who have to make an effort.

"Look at Argentina, they were world champions surrounding Messi with warriors, ready to die and give their blood for Messi. Or when I see Barca, they are all running around the masters. It reminds me when I played with Zidane, I wouldn't go and tell Zizo that he should run to do Hagana, I had to do it so that he would lead the orchestra."

Finally, Petty said: "PSG is not a football club, but a pre-retirement club even if you are 20 years old. No player has ever progressed in PSG,
