Lionel Messi is enjoying his final season with Inter Miami, ending a brilliant career, but he continues to carefully follow everything that happens at Barcelona.
The Argentine star has hinted that he may return to his beloved club, but not as a player.
Ahead of Barcelona's presidential election on March 15, current president Joan Laporta resigned to run for re-election.
These elections are very important, especially for Messi's future.
In November, he made a surprise visit to the Camp Nou stadium, indicating that he wants to return to the club, not just for a farewell.
Even though he has been living in Miami since 2023, Messi closely follows news about Barcelona.
His figure is very important for candidates, because it can attract votes.
According to the newspaper Sports, Messi has not met any candidate and has not intervened in the elections, not even with Laporta, with whom the relationship has been tense.
Messi will not vote this time, as he is committed to an MLS match and wants to stay away from controversy.
He may be involved in the future, but there are no plans at the moment.
The upcoming elections may give him the opportunity to participate or support a candidacy.
After the end of his contract with Inter Miami, Messi plans to return to Barcelona and could take a role in the club's management, but only with a trusted president.
Meanwhile, Messi continues to shine in the United States and is preparing for the new season.
His name remains important for club election campaigns, but now his main focus is Inter Miami. /Telegraph/
