Messi sets Barca deadline over transfer decision

Lionel Messi has reportedly told Barcelona that they have ten days to make a decision over a transfer that would see the star return to Camp Nou.

Messi wants to have his future sorted out as soon as possible as he prepares to leave Paris Saint-Germain. According to Relevo, he has told Barca that they have just over a week to confirm if a return to his former club is viable as they await the green light from La Liga.

Messi will leave PSG when his contract expires this summer, having signed on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona two years ago because the Spanish side could not afford to give him a new contract.
