Messi, left the club at the start of the season as a free agent due to financial constraints of the club and his exit may have been the major reason why the Catalans struggled at the start of the season.

The transfer may sound absurd, but Spanish Journalist, Sique Rodriguez was optimistic that the club will move Messi if they fail to land Haaland. “Soon, news will appear about Messi’s return in the summer, especially if Haaland does not come,” the Spanish journalist said.

Barcelona on their part are ready to part ways with Sergino Dest, leaving just Dani Alves as their only natural option in the right-back role, paving the way for Mazraoui to join the team in the summer while Sergi Roberto can also play in that position when the need arises.

The 24-year-old Moroccan international came through the youth ranks at the club and has grown into an ever-present on the right side of the defence for the Dutch giants over the past few seasons.
