The Argentine superstar left Barcelona on a free transfer in 2021 after the club were unable to re-sign him due to their financial issues.

Messi went on to move to the French capital where he linked with former Barcelona star Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the attack.
PSG full-back Achraf Hakimi has revealed how easy it was to build a rapport with the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.
"Building a technical relationship with him is easy," Hakimi said, as per Express.
"I give him the ball, I run and he will put it where it belongs! I was surprised by the way he behaved, he is simple, quiet."
"For him to leave Barca, like everyone else, I didn't expect it. And when I heard (he was) coming here, what can I say? A dream for me! I played with many great players and the only one I missed was him!
"I am proud to evolve with such a good footballer."
