Xavi Hernandez, the current coach of the club, says that Lionel Messi can come to Barcelona at any time. “Barcelona’s doors are always open to Messi,” Xavi told reporters ahead of the El Clsico match.
Messi shocked Barcelona last summer when he left Barcelona. The player arrived at PSG when the club was forced to exclude Messi due to the financial crisis. Xavi’s reaction comes amid rumors that Messi will return to Barcelona after that.

“Messi is the best player of all time and the doors of Barcelona are always open to the star. I welcome the star every day when I am the coach of Barcelona. I think we owe a debt of gratitude to the player.”
“I can not say more because the player has a contract with PSG. But if you want, you can come see Messi train and talk to the coach. The player has given us something invaluable.” Xavi told the media.
The absence of Messi, who scored 38 goals in 45 appearances for Barcelona last season, has hit the club hard this season. However, with Xavi taking over as coach, Barcelona have begun to recover from their defeat in the last eleven games of the El Clsico.
