Messi senior arrived in Barcelona on Wednesday morning and reportedly held exploratory talks with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu and the rest of the board.
Messi’s father and agent, Jorge Messi, held discussions with the club Wednesday amid the transfer saga that has taken the soccer world by storm.
Last week, Messi delivered a request to leave the club, with the Argentine intent on exercising his termination clause that would allow him to walk away from Camp Nou with Barca receiving no financial compensation.
Additionally, as per the report, the two clubs Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain which have shown real interest in signing the superstar are also not willing to get entangled in a legal dispute.
There can be a last minute twist to the ongoing transfer saga involving football icon Lionel Messi and his boyhood club FC Barcelona.
Having taken advice from his father Jorge and legal team, Messi is planning to make a U-turn on his decision to quit the Catalan giants having sensationally handed in a transfer request last week.
Messi told the club last week he wanted to leave and the two parties are in dispute over the terms of his contract.
Messi no longer considers himself a Barcelona player and did not attend training for the third consecutive day.
The club had been fining Messi €100,000 (£89,000) daily for his absence and missing a COVID-19 test, but Bartomeu has reportedly softened his stance and said the 33-year-old will not be fined, and is being given a few days off to consider his options.
