Lionel Messi said he would return to live with his family in Barcelona when his time at Paris Saint-Germain ends and would like to help the LaLiga club in the role of technical director.
Messi ended a two-decade stay at the cash-strapped Spanish club, where he is their record scorer with 672 goals in the off-season and joined PSG on a free transfer on a two-year deal.
“What is almost certain … is that we are going to be in Barcelona again and our lives will be there,” the 34-year-old Argentine said in an interview with Spanish outlet Sport.
“That’s what my wife wants and what I want. I don’t know when my contract with PSG will end, but we will go back to Barcelona to stay.
“I always said that I would love to be able to help the club … I would love to be a technical director at some point. I don’t know if it will happen at Barcelona or not.
“If there is any possibility, I would like to contribute again because this is the club I love and I will continue to do well for it, continue to grow and continue to be one of the best in the world.”
Barca, ranked ninth in LaLiga, sacked coach Ronald Koeman last week.
Messi was injured during PSG’s 2-1 win over champions Lille on Friday, but coach Mauricio Pochettino hopes he will be available for this week’s Champions League game at RB Leipzig.
