Lionel Messi is set to return to Barcelona after a two-year sabbatical. The Argentine has been out of the team since the end of last season.
He is expected to return in time for the start of the new season, which starts on September 1. Messi has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, which would be a big boost for the club. He has also been linked to a move away from Barcelona, where he has been playing since 2010. The former Barcelona player has been in a relationship with the club since 2007, when he was 17.
