    "editor1": "<p><strong>FC Barcelona<\/strong> president Joan Laporta on Friday opened the door for a possible return to the club for Leo Messi.&nbsp;Messi is out of contract with PSG this summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Laporta insisted that the 35-year-old (who will be 36 in June) Messi &quot;has the doors of Barca open.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Messi is the greatest player in history. He has been the most important player in Barca&#39;s history, although I have to be careful in what I say, as Messi is a PSG player and I have to respect that,&quot; said the Barca president.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Laporta said he needed to be &quot;careful&quot;, that didn&#39;t stop Laporta from adding: &quot;Leo knows that we have him in our hearts and he is part of our club badge.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Laporta also looked back on Messi&#39;s departure from FC Barcelona in the summer of 2021, when it was impossible to fit his new contract into a wage structure defined by spending limits imposed by La Liga, a Xinhua report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The situation I found when I returned as president wasn&#39;t good and I had to make a decision that I am not satisfied with,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I have to find the way to improve the current relationship between Messi and Barca. We will see what happens, but he knows Barca&#39;s doors are open for him,&quot; concluded Laporta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Messi&#39;s return is far from easy, and will depend on Barca lowering their current wage bill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ongoing investigations into the &quot;Negreira case&quot;, which involves possible match-fixing, could also have both financial and implications, with the news that UEFA has opened its own investigation, opening the door to Barca&#39;s possible exclusion from European competitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Messi&#39;s return is far from easy, and will depend on Barca lowering their current wage bill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/ipl-flashback\">IPL Tales &amp; Records<\/a><\/p>\r\n",
