Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Inter Miami co-owner, Jorge Mas, has said Lionel Messi will return to Barcelona to receive a proper send-off.<\/p>\n

Messi has still not gotten the chance to say goodbye to Barca fans after he left in 2021.<\/p>\n

This summer, the seven-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner opted not to return to Camp Nou after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old instead chose to continue his playing career in the MLS with Inter Miami.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the Offside with Taylor Twellman podcast, Jorge Mas confirmed Messi will return to Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s some type of friendly or farewell game. They have this Gamper Trophy they play for in the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there will be something where, hopefully when the new Camp Nou is open, because their stadium there they will not be playing in for the next year and a half, hopefully, Lionel Messi can say his proper goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n
