Sergio Aguero thinks Lionel Messi can still return to Barcelona in future
Former Manchester City attacker Sergio Aguero said that Lionel Messi can still return to Barcelona in the future. During an interview with AS, the former Argentine striker said that Barcelona has been a huge part of Messi's career and he loves the football club. Aguero said:
"Leo always said that he loves Barcelona - very identified with the club and city. Sometimes I just think it’s a matter of time."
Earlier this year, the Argentine playmaker was being linked to a possible move to Camp Nou. But he ended up joining MLS outfit Inter Miami on a free transfer.
However, earlier during the summer transfer window, Aguero had spoken about the possibility of Lionel Messi joining Barcelona again. He said (via GOAL):
"My feeling is that there is a 50% chance that Leo Messi will return to Barca. I think that Leo should retire at Barca. Barcelona is his home, he has to finish his career here. If president Laporta makes the step, I think Messi's return to Barcelona will come closer."
According to a report by Football Transfers, the Argentine playmaker can return to Camp Nou to face Cristiano Ronaldo in a Legends XI match. The game is expected to take place on Nov. 29, 2024, and other former stars such as David Villa, Ronaldinho and Cesc Fabregas have also been called for the match.
