Hansi Flick threatened to leave Barca immediately if Messi was brought back.

Manager Hansi Flick reportedly stated he would leave Barca immediately if the club brought Messi back under his leadership.

Messi caused a stir in the football world after releasing a series of secret photos of himself 'sneaking' into the unfinished Camp Nou stadium last Sunday night. The legendary number 10 returned to his old stomping ground during Argentina's training camp in Valencia.

Interestingly, Barca were completely unaware of Leo Messi's visit until they saw the photos, just like most people.

Messi's unexpected return, his first since his tearful departure in the summer of 2021, evokes much nostalgia, especially since he never had the chance to say goodbye to his fans.

And from this, speculation arose about Messi returning to play for Barca once again, for example on a short-term loan during the MLS halftime break so that the number 10 could maintain his form in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

However, that is unlikely to happen as long as Joan Laporta remains the president of Barca. Furthermore, according to Defensa, coach Hansi Flick also opposes the idea of ​​bringing the legendary number 10 back.

The German strategist reportedly told Barca's leadership that it wasn't a good idea and he didn't want Messi in his team. If the club chose to bring the Argentine superstar back, he would leave immediately.

According to some speculation, Messi's surprise visit to Camp Nou was not a spontaneous act, but rather a subtle declaration of war against President Joan Laporta, who aims for re-election next year.

For Messi, Laporta broke his promise, forcing him to leave Barca, and that was truly painful.

Messi hopes to return to Camp Nou one day, but certainly in a new role, and it is believed that he already has concrete plans for that.
