Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Spain midfielder, Daniel Solsona, has given a reason why Lionel Messi\u2019s return to Barcelona is not good for the club.<\/p>\n

Solsona said Messi\u2019s return to Barcelona is not good for the Catalan club because they would have to \u2018move parts.\u2019<\/p>\n

Messi has been linked with a return to Barcelona, Al-Hilal, and Major League Soccer, this summer from Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

The Argentina World Cup winner left Barcelona to join PSG in 2021.<\/p>\n

His current contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season, and he is yet to sign a new deal with the French Ligue 1 champions.<\/p>\n

However, Solsona believes it would be a mistake should Messi return to Barcelona.<\/p>\n

He told La Porteria: \u201cLeo Messi will not come to Barca and, in addition, his return would not be good footballing for Barca because you have to move parts. Messi is not the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
