I don't see any reason why he wouldn't choose Barca, great club, beautiful city and greatest stadium in Europe, it is up to the new board to make sure we can compete.
That would make a nice brochure wouldn’t it?
Reality is though Barcelona are broke and La Liga is a mess right now, the league is not even producing enough young talent, especially compared to the Premier League, who are shitting out young players who look the next big thing almost weekly, if the Premier League clubs aren’t producing these players by themselves (which they are in abundance) they are bringing the best from other countries either by poaching them to put in their academies or paying shit loads of money bringing in the best that way (ie:- Amad Diallo), as Barcelona and La Liga aren’t producing now the only way to bring talent to the league is ‘buy’ readymade stars (like they used to in the past) and they can’t!
Manchester United had a reality check when Sir Alex retied, fans thinking they were entitled to success and this player and that player, not any more. Barcelona have got that coming once one of the greatest players who have ever played the game retires. No longer will you get players wanting to joining Barcelona ‘to play with Messi’.
Some of you lot are not old enough to remember Barcelona bang average in the 90s/early 00’s, unable to attract the world’s best players, players turning you down, how much Barcelona’s squad is a mess right now and how much it’s going to cost to rebuild and how Barcelona don’t have any money for this re-build (even Madrid), massive dark cloud over Spanish football, reminiscent of Serie A 1990’s, even worse because back then there wasn’t a league as rich and powerful as the Premier League, which isn’t going anywhere.
I’d even go as far to say Spanish football as fallen behind the Budlesliga and even Italian football, never mind the Premier League which are 3 leagues above of anyone else.
