The current Inter Miami player published a post in which he noted the progress of the works at Spotify's Camp Nou, the stadium that Barcelona hope to return to this month after almost two years of absence.
In the message, Messi again let it be understood that he wants to return one day to the club that consecrated him.
“I came back to a place I missed so much. A place where I lived the happiest moments and where you made me feel, countless times, the happiest person in the world”, Messi wrote on social networks.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner said he wants to return one day and admitted he regrets not having the chance to say goodbye to the fans at Camp Nou.
“I hope one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, which I've never been able to do,” he said.
It must be said that Barcelona has been trying for a long time to organize a tribute event for Messi, but so far there has been no concrete progress.
Meanwhile, rumors have emerged that the Argentine could have a role in the club's upcoming presidential election, supporting one of the candidates in opposition to Joan Laporta.
