Lionel Messi is set to join Barcelona. He will fly to Barcelona for a medical examination this weekend and could join training on Monday under the command of Flick. He will sign until the end of the season.

Lionel Messi was close to a return to FC Barcelona last summer. The story would have been beautiful for the Argentine, who has the Catalan club in his heart. However, the financial problems of the Blaugranas did not allow him to return to his former club.

Barcelona are in talks with Inter Miami over Lionel Messi's return to the club to play one final match at Camp Nou. Club president Joan Laporta wants the legendary forward to feature in their first game back at their new stadium.
