Messi’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season and although the two are locked in talks, it hasn’t stopped the 35-year-old being linked elsewhere.

Barcelona were forced to let the Argentinian leave in 2021 – after almost two decades at the club – due to their financial mismanagement.

Speaking on his son’s Twitch channel, Matias said: “I have a SPORT cutting that says ‘Messi should return to Barcelona’ and I’ve put underneath it ‘Hahaha’.

“We are not going back to Barcelona, and if we do, we are going to have a good clearout, kicking-out, among others, Joan Laporta who is ungrateful after all that Messi did for Barcelona.”

“People [in Barcelona] did not support him. People should have gone out to do a march or something, let Laporta leave and Messi stay. The Catalans are traitors,” he exclaimed.

“Barcelona started to become globally recognised because of Messi, before that people only knew Madrid.”

After a difficult first season in France, Messi has seemingly now found his feet in Paris and has had a more more successful season.

The forward has 15 goals and 14 assists from 24 games in all competitions for club this season and also led Argentina to a first World Cup win since 1986.
