Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, has spoken candidly about the challenges of former star Lionel Messi, currently with Inter Miami, making a return to the Blaugrana.
In a media statement, Laporta said: "These are unrealistic expectations, as today Lionel Messi is under contract with Inter Miami, and the player is 38 years old."
He further added: "The club is building a project for the present and the future, so the matter is complicated, and those who live in the past rarely progress."
