If it is up to Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi will play for Barcelona again next season. Blaugrana are currently investigating the possibilities of bringing the Argentinian left leg back to the Spotify Camp Nou. Lewandowski sees a collaboration with Messi, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. “Messi belongs to Barcelona, if he returns it would be something incredible,” the Pole said Mundo Deportivo.
Lewandowski himself signed with Barcelona last summer, who paid 45 million euros to Bayern Munich for his services. In 36 appearances for Barça, the Polish super striker has so far scored 27 goals and seven assists. Barcelona is in a great position in the competition: as leader, the gap with pursuer Real Madrid is no less than thirteen points. Lewandowski’s first prize in the shirt of the Catalans is already a fact: in January, Barcelona secured the Spanish Super Cup by winning 1-3 against Real.
Still, Lewandowski thinks Barcelona could use Messi. “Messi belongs to Barcelona. If he returns, it would be something incredible. We know that Barcelona is his place. I don’t know what will happen, but I hope I can play with him next season.” Last week L’Équipe revealed that Messi will most likely leave PSG at the end of this season. Messi was then whistled at the Parc des Princes.
In his first spell at Barcelona, Messi made 778 appearances for the club. The brand new world champion accounted for 672 goals and 303 assists. With Barça, Messi won the Champions League four times. He will not achieve that in Paris, as PSG was eliminated by Bayern in March. In the service of the Parisians, Messi has played 68 games so far, in which he scored thirty goals and delivered 33 assists.
