Transfer: Marcelo provides major update on Messi's return to Barcelona

DAILY POST

Highly reliable Argentine journalist, Marcelo Bechler, has revealed that Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is not returning to Barcelona this summer.

He said that the widely speculated return of the legendary forward to Barcelona would likely fall through.

The transfer expert went on to reveal the Catalan giants are yet to make an offer and it doesn’t seem like they will be able to make one.

He said that barring any late surprise, the purported move is all but heading for a dead end, adding the World Cup winner is aware of the situation and is already in talks with other clubs interested in signing him.

“If anyone still had hopes of seeing Messi at Barca. Barca cannot offer or promise anything. Barring a completely off-script twist, it’s the end of the line.
