Laporta hoping to get Messi back despite PSG agreement

This Wednesday, Leo Messi's future was in the headlines once again. The Argentine, recently crowned world champion, is under contract with PSG until the end of the season, which would allow him to negotiate with any side from the 1st January.
PSG are conscious of that, and know that they need to work hard to keep him. In fact, according to 'Le Parisien', there is supposedly a verbal agreement for him to stay for another season.
However, Barcelona are not losing hope of getting Messi back, especially their president. According to 'COPE', Joan Laporta wants to sign the Argentinian star, but is aware how difficult it would be.
The striker's plans are no longer to exchange elite football for the MLS. He always left the door open to delay that decision for another season, even though winning the World Cup may have persuaded him otherwise. And that is where Barcelona come in.
At the Camp Nou, they know that the Argentine, now that he has won his long-awaited crown, could want to return to close the circle and say goodbye to his lifetime club. The Catalan side still have hope, despite the source saying that they still have not had any contact with him. Laporta was confident that they would be made soon. Despite all this, it is the Argentine who has the final say.
