Barcelona is reportedly planning to extend an invitation to Lionel Messi to join the club's upcoming 125th-anniversary celebrations. Messi's departure from Barcelona in 2021 sparked hopes of a potential reunion, and new reports suggest that the club is actively pursuing the possibility of his return for the milestone event.
Messi could arrive at Camp Nou
Barcelona is reportedly planning to extend official invitations to Messi and other club legends for a milestone event. While the anniversary is set for November 29, the club may postpone the celebrations to a later date to better accommodate their plans.
Originally, Barcelona had hoped to coincide the festivities with the re-opening of their renovated stadium, but the Camp Nou won’t be ready on time. Consequently, the club is considering alternative ways to commemorate the occasion. One of their primary ideas involves honoring iconic figures such as Ronaldinho.
The club is proposing that Messi attend an exclusive gala to commemorate the club’s new milestone. If his sporting commitments prevent him from attending in person, the club would like him to record a video of himself reading the message, which will be showcased during the celebration.
What are the chances of Messi's proposed visit?
If Messi does visit Camp Nou, it would be the first time since he left the Catalan club in 2021. The reunion with Barcelona, which is now under Hansi Flick could be an iconic one.
Even if Barcelona decided to host the event at a later date Lionel Messi is unlikely to visit Camp Nou as he will be competing in the 2024 MLS Playoffs.
Messi's Club Inter-Miami won the Supporters Shield a few days ago. The MLS playoffs are set to begin on October 23, with the finals scheduled on December 7th. Messi is in a race to win the MVP of the tournament.
