Barca wants to hand in Messi a legendary treat, that entails being a member of the club before Camp Nou reopening day. The Catalan club are quietly working on this grand inauguration and would be ready to procure the Argentine striker in a deal that's meant to be concluded after next year's world cup. And that's the predetermined time given by the contractors for the finishing of the Spotify camp Nou. So, with the funds ready, Messi would want to accept the honor from Barcelona. Between the trend will as well boost his presence in the football world.

I think its beautiful that Barcelona wants to honour Messi with a special contract before the reopening of their newly renovated Camp Nou. Given his legendary status at the club, such a gesture would not only celebrate his immense contribution but also excite fans eager to see him back at the iconic stadium.

Their lovely move, hides something more sinister. They know that Messi won't accept it, because both Messi is tired of competitive football and wants to just relax at MLS at this late age, but also Barcelona can't even offer anything decent, not even what an MLS team can offer. Lets recap, they had trouble registering Oslo this winter break, it took them months of work just to register one player.

So, you think it is possible for them to pay anything to Messi? So, they will come up with "we love him so much, we want him here at new stadium" PR move, offer him very little, he will reject of course because why wouldn't he and then they will say "we wanted him, but he didn't want us" PR move yet again to make themselves look better.
