FC Barcelona are hoping that certain decisions in the makeup of the squad will play a role in convincing Lionel Messi to return. The player himself has not asked for these decisions, but nonetheless, the club is hoping they will make things more appealing for the Argentine.
That’s according to a report which says that “it would have been very complicated” to imagine Messi returning if Gerard Piqué was still in the team.
The long-serving defender retired in the middle of the season after winning everything for club and country. But there are long-standing rumors of a feud between Piqué and Messi.
