<p><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/teams/barcelona-tv-schedule/">Barcelona</a> vice president Eduard Romeu claims superstar Lionel Messi could return to the club next summer. His comments come just a couple of months since team president Joan Laporta said that <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2021/08/05/messis-20-year-barcelona-career-ends-as-scramble-for-signature-begins/">Messi’s time with the club</a> is “<a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/barcelona-espbarcelona/story/4706027/lionel-messis-chapter-at-barcelona-not-over-president-joan-laporta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not over</a>.”</p>
<p>The Argentina striker shocked many in the soccer world when he <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/09/24/messi-claims-he-had-trouble-finding-himself-at-psg/">departed Spain for PSG</a> last year. Although Messi seemingly had a contract agreement with Barca, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2021/08/18/barcelonas-1-5-billion-debt-how-a-mega-club-fell-into-a-financial-black-hole-and-lost-its-star/">financial issues inside the club</a> blocked the deal.</p>
<p>Romeu spoke on Wednesday about Barca’s financial situation. However, it was his remarks on Messi that grabbed people’s attention. “It would be possible financially because if [Messi] returned, it would be as a free agent,” <a href="https://www.ccma.cat/esport3/eduard-romeu-hem-salvat-el-barca-pero-encara-no-el-tenim-sa/noticia/3186823/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> Romeu. “But it’s a decision which has to be made by the coaching staff and the player. It doesn’t correspond to me [to make those decisions], but it would be viable.”</p>
<h3>Possibility of a Messi return to Barcelona</h3>
<p>The financial problems within the club will apparently ease next summer. “Barca next summer will not have financial problems with the structure that we have set up,” continued Romeu. “Another thing is that we have established some ratios that must be followed.”</p>
<p>Romeu also talked about the concern with the club’s player wages. “With the wage bill, the problem is putting your hand in people’s wallets and that is very complicated. There are contracts signed and we do not breach them. However, 150 million euros have been reduced.”</p>
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Messi&apos;s best 10 goals, according to the fans" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/It4YOYzEaVY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
<p>These reductions could obviously help bring Messi back to Barca in 2023. The superstar was previously making a reported $168.5 million per year before moving to PSG. The Ligue 1 club is keen on keeping Messi and extending his contract a further year.</p>
<p>PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi has not been shy of his feelings towards Barca’s recent sale of commercial assets. “Is this fair? No, it’s not fair … Is it legal? I’m not sure,” <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/psg-chief-nasser-al-khelaifi-crackdown-barcelona-economic-model-uefa/">stated</a> al-Khelaifi on Wednesday. “If they allow them, others will do the same. UEFA of course have their own [financial] regulations. For sure they’re going to look at everything.”</p>
<p>The two massive teams could be in for a messy battle for the soccer superstar next summer.</p>

Barcelona VP says Messi return would be 'possible financially'

As a club trying to escape from financial hardship, the fact that Barcelona could see the return of Lionel Messi next season is surprising.

Barcelona VP says Messi return would be 'possible financially' - World Soccer Talk

<div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-401547" src="https://media.worldsoccertalk.com/wp-content/2022/09/Paul-Pogba-witch-doctor-1200x725.webp" alt="Paul Pogba witch doctor" width="1200" height="725" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></div>
<p>Mathias Pogba claims that his brother, star midfielder Paul, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/08/29/a-family-conflict-extortion-claims-and-a-witch-doctor-what-is-the-paul-pogba-affair/">used a witch doctor</a>&nbsp;to help <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> beat PSG in 2019. According to Mathias, Paul essentially asked for a spell to be placed on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/teams/psg-tv-schedule/">PSG</a> <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/06/01/kylian-mbappe-road-to-being-the-greatest-of-all-time/">superstar Kylian Mbappé</a>.</p>
<p>The matchup was the second leg of the round of 16 <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">Champions League</a> campaign. United won the match 3-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals 3-3 on away goals.</p>
<p>In a series of videos posted on Twitter, Mathias said his brother became obsessed with witchcraft four years ago. “The turning point came with the World Cup in 2018. Paul had more faith in the witch doctor than in God, entrusting the witch with a big task in order to help the French team win,” <a href="https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/mathias-pogba-claims-brother-paul-used-witch-doctor-to-neutralise-kylian-mbappe/">stated</a> Mathias.</p>
<h3>Brother alleges Paul Pogba used a witch doctor</h3>
<p>“After that, Paul continued with his witch doctor, notably in the Champions League to ensure that Manchester United would go through against PSG [in 2019].”</p>
<p>“At the request of Paul, the witch was told to neutralize Kylian Mbappé, who back then was on a rapid rise, far outstripping Paul’s fame. It was strange to see that during that match Kylian was a shadow of himself against a reserve side.”</p>
<p>Mbappé recorded an assist in the game, but appeared to struggle in other aspects. The pacy forward failed to complete a dribble (0 for 3) or have a shot on target in the loss.</p>
<p>“The issue is that at the same time Paul was doing everything he could to get closer to Kylian. As we could see in the media, supposedly liking him and calling him his friend. He would often call him, we would see them arm in arm,” continued Mathias. “It went so far that Kylian almost made it a condition for his PSG contract extension that the club would have to sign Paul. Without knowing, behind his back, Paul was engaging in witchcraft to sabotage his matches.”</p>
<p>Mathias Pogba released a lengthy series of videos as a statement via his Twitter account, all in French.</p>
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Mathias also made claims that the witch doctor set Paul back at least $4 million for their services. Former PSG defender Serge Aurier supposedly introduced the person to Paul as well.</p>
<p>Five people, including Mathias, were charged last week in the ongoing extortion probe involving Paul Pogba.</p>
