Surprise: Barcelona Makes Final Offer to Keep Messi

The Catalan sports program "Laportera" revealed a significant surprise on Tuesday morning, confirming that Barcelona plans to make a final offer to keep its legend Lionel Messi in the team, just two days after he officially said goodbye to fans in a press conference. The program, which airs on the Catalan network "BTV," tweeted that the option for Lionel Messi to stay with Barcelona is no longer completely ruled out, as the club intends to present one last offer to keep the Argentine star, with the club's executive director Ferran Reverter handling this task. Various media outlets in Catalonia indicated that Messi requested some time to evaluate the offer from Paris Saint-Germain, while it was scheduled for him to arrive in the French capital on Monday to finalize all details related to his transfer there. Messi bid farewell to Barcelona following the end of his contract on June 30, concluding a 17-year career with the Catalan club.
