The agreement in principle was reached by Lionel Messi and Paris St-Germain.

Lionel Messi is out of contract at the French club in June of next year.

Joan Laporta said he would love for Messi to come back to Barcelona.

Messi has not been contacted by Barcelona about a return.

The agreement has been reached after four months of talks between Messi's father and the director of football at Paris Saint-Germain.

There was a meeting with the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain.

A European football expert says that it is all agreed with Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona did not approach him or his dad.

It's not that Messi doesn't want to come back to Barcelona. He didn't ask the question.

WhenMessi returns from his vacations, the agreement will speed up.

His life in Paris is balanced, happy, everyone is enjoying it, and he has a chance of winning the trophy again. It will make him a candidate for the Ballon d'Or again.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner was named player of the tournament at the World Cup as Argentina won the title for the third time.

Messi signed a two-year contract with the option of a third year after leaving Barcelona.

He has scored 23 goals in 53 appearances for the French team.

The Argentine has won a number of titles, including a World Cup, four European titles and 10 Spanish titles with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

He ended his association with the Catalan club in 2021.
