Lionel Messi is now set to return back to Barcelona next summer despite leaving two years ago for PSG, MySportDab reports.

But, According to Fabrizio Romano, Lionel Messi has not yet reached an agreement with any club and will wait until after the 2022 World Cup.
MySportDab understands that Messi has settled his differences with Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

Messi was surprised by the announcement despite agreeing a 50 per cent pay on his salary in the new contract worth £425million over four years.

However, Messi later signed a two-year contract with PSG worth £35million a season but endured a difficult start to life in France.
He has always been linked with a return to Barcelona since his debut in France.

In 2004, Messi made his debut for the Barcelona first team aged 16 years old and played 778 matches to become a club legend.
