Barcelona chiefs are planning a January bid for PSG star Lionel Messi.
Sport says Barca will make a desperate attempt to sign Messi from Paris Saint-Germain in January, according to reports.
Messi, 35, has been linked with a sensational return to the Nou Camp for several months.
Reports initially suggested that he would re-sign for the La Liga giants on a free transfer next summer.
But, following Barcelona‘s disastrous 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday – which subsequently saw the club crash out of the Champions League – Xavi is now eager to reunite with Messi in January.
Barcelona chiefs are hoping to re-sign Messi as soon as possible.
However, it could prove to be a challenge to separate him from PSG.
The Ligue 1 champions are determined to keep the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner in Paris until his contract expires in June 2023.
Furthermore, Barcelona‘s financial issues could potentially prevent the club from securing a deal.
