LAPORTA'S SHOCKING STATEMENT ON THE RETURN OF MESSI! Hakimi back to Real?! Man Utd push for Osimhen!
Laporta confirms Barcelona's desire to re-sign Messi
TV3
A day after Barcelona won La Liga, club president Joan Laporta confirmed on Catalan channel TV3's 'Els Matins' that 'Blaugrana' will indeed be looking to bring back Lionel Messi this summer.
"I have spoken to Leo to somehow redirect a situation that occurred where I had to put the institution above everything else, even him, the best player in the world. It was a very affectionate and pleasant conversation.
We have sent messages lately... I congratulated him on the World Cup. We have known each other for years, since he was 14 years old. There is a relationship there.
Messi loves Barça, let nobody doubt it. He feels that Barça is his home. We have to wait until the end of the season and then we can talk about it calmly.
And with all due respect to Saudi Arabia, Barça is Barça and it is his home. Barça can compete with anyone, history backs us up," Laporta told.
Hakimi to leave PSG and return to Real Madrid?

Reliability: 3.5
PSG defender Achraf Hakimi has expressed his desire to return to Real Madrid. The Moroccan is having a tough time at the Paris camp, and his recent sending-off against Ajaccio has only increased criticism of his latest performances.
Hakimi experiences difficulties in Christophe Galtier's style of play, because the formation with four defenders used by the coach does not allow Achraf to show his best qualities at preferred wing-back role. Despite a bright season start, the player's form has been gradually deteriorating.
In addition to on-pitch problems, Hakimi got involved in a scandal after his ex-wife accused him of r*pe.
The footballer is now feeling very uncomfortable in France and thus he wants to return to the club that opened his way to professional football.
However, Hakimi is tied to PSG with a contract until 2026, and the red and blue do not want to let the defender go, although Real is ready to make economic efforts to return Achraf to Madrid and give him a new chance in the team.
Man Utd � favourites to sign Osimhen
Il Mattino
Reliability: 3.5
Last week, Premier League clubs' scouts came to see the clash between Napoli and Monza to watch Victor Osimhen in action.
According to Il Mattino, two Chelsea representatives were among those who attended the game, but were not impressed by the Nigerian's performance. Despite that, the Blues maintain an interest in the striker, but the leaders in the race for the Nigerian are claimed to be Manchester United. Besides, the Red Devils are in contact with Napoli not only regarding Osimhen, but also their defender Kim Min-jae.
It was previously stated that the Parthenopeans will not part ways with their marksman for less than 150 million euros.
This season, Osimhen made 36 appearances for Napoli in all competitions, scoring 28 goals and delivering 5 assists.
