Inter Miami forward and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi could play a role in the Catalan club's presidential elections in 2026.
Idman.biz reports that current president Joan Laporta intends to run for a new term, but relations with the team's former star remain strained.
According to reports, Messi may participate in the elections, but not to support Laporta. It is worth remembering that in 2021, Laporta promised to keep the Argentine in Barcelona, but due to the club's difficult financial situation, he could not renew the contract and the forward moved to PSG. Messi's entourage assessed the matter as a betrayal, which led to a cooling of relations.
Victor Font and Juan Camprubi may also be candidates for the elections. Barcelona's symbol and 2022 World Champion Messi's support could significantly affect the outcome of the vote.
