He then mentioned Lionel Messi name to be that player who would bring back the spice they missed.
Knowing Messi left Barcelona due to financial crisis, the Argentine ended up joining the French giants Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season.
The LaLiga president made no exceptions for Barcelona to be able to keep him but eventually would like the two parties to reunite.
“I think Messi has two or three years left at a really good level. Messi at 80% of what we have seen is still at the top level, so if I could see Messi back in Spain, I would be delighted,” Tebas said.
However, he said that to do so, it would most likely have to be on reduced economic terms so that Barcelona do not have more financial burden.
“I think the marriage between Messi and Barcelona was perfect and I think reconciliation would generate significant financial synergies for both parties. On a sporting level, I have no idea. At the end of the day, I can’t analyse that side of things or the dressing room,” he added, aware of the superstar’s commercial value for the club and the league.
The Argentine will always be welcome if he would want to return to Barcelona would always be welcome as even Dani Alves stated recently.
