The club’s vice-president Rafa Yuste confirmed that they have officially opened talks with Messi’s camp over a possible return, Goal reported.
“He arrived here when he was 12 years old. Of course, I would love to have him back. I say this personally. But I think many of our supporters would love that too, for everything he would represent if he came back,” he said.
