Lionel Messi making a sensational return to Barcelona next summer is financially 'possible', according to the club's vice-president of economics, Eduard Romeu.
Messi departed Barcelona last summer to join PSG amid the Catalan giants' financial issues, but his contract with the Ligue 1 side is due to expire in 2023.
The Argentine forward is expected to make a decision on his future after the World Cup in Qatar, and Romeu has declared that Barcelona could afford to bring Messi back to the Nou Camp.
