Luis Suarez hints at Barcelona return for Lionel Messi
Luis Suarez has hinted at Messi joining Barcelona this summer with a post on his Instagram account
Speaking at Barcelona's Real Tennis Club, Cerezo told reporters, “I think it would be fantastic if Messi returned to La Liga, as would Cristiano Ronaldo,' he said. 'Both are still playing and it would be fantastic if they came back.”
Cristiano Ronaldo had a track record against Atletico Madrid having scored against them on many occasions across the league, cup and Champions League.
Even after he left Madrid for Juventus, Ronaldo still came back to haunt Atletico in the Champions League having scored a hat-trick for Juventus to knock them out of the Tournament in 2019.
LaLiga president says rules won’t change
Javier Tebas, the head of LaLiga, has made it clear recently that the rules won't be amended to allow Barcelona to sign Messi, despite Cerezo's wish for Messi and Ronaldo’s return.
After years of excessive spending that resulted in Messi's exit in 2021, Barcelona's financial situation continues to be a problem, and Tebas is adamant that they must adhere to the league's financial fair play rules.

Barcelona makes Chelsea’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang their top transfer target
Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been a shadow of himself since he joined the Blues and has been frozen out of the team.
Speaking about Barcelona’s chance of signing Messi, Tebas said, “As of today, no, but there is a lot of time left. We are waiting for their [financial fair play] viability plan [for next season].
“I hope they can make the necessary moves to make space for Messi to come in, but of course, we are not going to change any rules for Messi to sign. Barca can make moves; they sell players.
“That's what we hope happens because I am a fan of Messi and I would like Messi to play in our league. But we won't change any rules. It is complicated, but I think they have the capacity to do it.”
