AS: Messi demands Barcelona to take away Fati's number ten, in case he returns to the club

AS reports that PSG Argentine forward Lionel Messi has demanded Barcelona return his number 10 if the forward returns to the club. This number is now being used by striker Ansu Fati.

The source notes that this is one of the key demands for Messi's return to the Catalan squad. However, Fati does not want to part with his number or leave the team.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is trying to find a way out of this situation.

Messi was Barcelona's number ten from 2003 to 2021. He played a total of 778 games for the club from Catalonia, scoring 672 goals and giving 303 assists. 20-year-old Fati has been playing for Barcelona since 2019, his contract with the club runs until the end of the 2026/27 season.
