Legendary Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi’s return to his childhood club FC Barcelona is reportedly imminent.
Barcelona have been charged with corruption over payments the club made to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, a former vice-president of Spain’s referees’ committee. Last month it emerged that Barca have paid Negreira and a company he owns a reported total of 8.4m euros (£7.4m) between 2001 and 2018.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta said he was very confident Lionel Messi would choose to stay at the club after the Argentine delivered a vintage performance in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final.
