Lionel Messi will make a decision on his future in the coming hours after his father met with Barcelona president Joan Laporta on Monday.
The 35-year-old's father and agent Jorge spoke to Laporta regarding a return to Barcelona though Mail Sport understands the tone of the conversation was pessimistic with the Spanish champions unable to make a proper offer because of the restrictions of financial fairplay that remain on the club's finances.
Jorge said: 'He would love to return to Barcelona. I would like it too but we will see.'
Messi has left Paris St Germain and has offers from Al Hilal and Inter Miami. Other European sides have shown tentative interest, but the Argentina captain's salary is an obstacle.
The Argentine superstar wants to return to Barca, however, he can't afford to wait on them for long as other offers could fall away.
