Lionel Messi’s father: Player ‘would like to return’ to Barcelona

Associated PressJun 5, 2023, 10:36 AM EDT

Barcelona has not given up hope of seeing Lionel Messi returning to the club despite increasing speculation about a pending move to Saudi Arabia, and his father said Monday that his son prefers to go back to the Catalan club.

Jorge Messi was in Barcelona and briefly answered questions from reporters after reportedly meeting with club president Joan Laporta.

The player’s father sidestepped most questions but acknowledged that Messi “would like to return” to the club where he spent most of his career. When asked if he believed his son could be back, he said “yes.”

“It depends on lots of things. I don’t know anything,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”

Barcelona has continued to restructure its finances to make sure it can afford Messi’s return in case the Argentina star decides to come back to the Spanish league after his stint with Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG announced this past weekend that Messi will not stay at the club for another season, and the player was reportedly mulling lucrative offers from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia and Inter Miami in the United States.

Barcelona was always an option since it’s the club where he grew up and thrived for nearly two decades before leaving to join PSG in 2021 amid the Catalan club’s financial struggles.

Barcelona’s finances are in better shape now, but adding Messi to the squad would make it more difficult for the club to meet the Spanish league’s strict financial fair play rules.

“It’s not easy, but we’ll see,” Laporta said this weekend.

The club was working with the league to make sure it could get an adequate salary cap approved ahead of the new season. It still has to add some players who were registered with the youth squads, including playmaker Gavi, but it gained some important salary cap space with the departure of veterans such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

“I would really like to have Leo back. He knows it, I’ve spoken to him,” Barcelona coach Xavi said. “It would be spectacular, not only for me as a coach, but as a fan as well. He is a spectacular player who could help us in so many different areas. But it’s his decision and I will understand it no matter what happens.”

Laporta has said the club would do everything possible to try to bring Messi back.

After not being able to keep the playmaker and seeing the team struggle, Laporta and his board had to take action and sold off 25% of the club’s Spanish league TV rights for the next 25 years, along with other assets. The cash was used to revamp the squad with the signings of players such as Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé and Raphinha. The team won the league title this season for the first time since 2019, but it still struggled in the Champions League and the Europa League.

The team’s first title since Messi’s departure had been the Spanish Super Cup in January, when it defeated rival Real Madrid in the final in Saudi Arabia.

The 35-year-old Messi left Barcelona after 17 successful seasons in which he helped the Catalan club win 35 titles, including four Champions Leagues, 10 Spanish leagues and seven Copa del Reys.

While with Barcelona, Messi earned himself a record six Ballon d’Or awards as the world’s top player. He remains the team’s all-time scorer with 672 goals in 778 appearances, and the top scorer in the Spanish league with 474 goals in 520 matches.

Messi was the top scorer in the Spanish league in eight seasons, and the top scorer in the Champions League on six occasions. His 26 goals against Real Madrid are a record for the “clasico” matches against Barcelona’s fiercest rival.

Messi arrived at Barcelona at age 13, when he and his family came to Spain to try his luck at Barcelona’s youth academy. He made his official debut on Oct. 16, 2004, and two years later helped the club win its first Champions League title in a squad led by Ronaldinho.

Premier League promotion: Burnley, Sheffield United, Luton Town go up!

By Nicholas MendolaJun 2, 2023, 5:00 PM EDT

With Burnley and Sheffield United sealing automatic promotion back to the Premier League, all eyes were on the two teams in the Championship playoff final.

It was Luton Town who outlasted Coventry City in penalties following a tense, scrappy 1-1 over 120 minutes that saw the Hatters lead in the first half but concede in the second frame.

[ MORE: How to watch the Premier League on NBC ]

Luton was last in the top-flight in 1992, relegated just before the top-flight was rebranded to become the Premier League, and Coventry were last in the Premier League in 2001. As of 2018, both Luton and Coventry were both in the fourth-tier of English football.

Vincent Kompany and Burnley won the EFL Championship title on April 25 after beating Blackburn Rovers, as the Clarets bounced back at the first time of asking. Sheffield United finished in second place and were promoted after two seasons down in the second tier following their relegation in 2021.

As for the playoffs, third-place Luton Town beat sixth-place Sunderland 3-2 on aggregate in the semifinals, while Coventry City edged past Middlesbrough 1-0 in a tight semifinal tie as it will be Luton against Coventry in the Championship playoff final at Wembley on Saturday, May 27.

The richest game in football saw a minnow (Luton Town) and a team which has recovered from financial turmoil multiple times (Coventry) square off for a spot in the big time. And now we know the three teams who will join 17 survivors in the 2023-24 Premier League: Clarets, Blades, and Hatters. Oh my.

How much money is promotion to the Premier League worth?

The prize for being promoted to the Premier League is obviously all about reaching the top-flight. But there is also some serious money involved.

It is estimated that promotion from the Championship to the Premier League is worth around $210 million to each club over a three-season period.

That is due to shared TV income, increased sponsorship opportunities and a whole host of other income revenues improving, while the club also receives parachute payments over three years if they are relegated back to the Championship at the first time of asking. Those parachute payments see relegated teams receive a lower percentage of their previous income from being in the Premier League to help them recalibrate to life in the second tier.

Simply put, promotion to the Premier League for just one season significantly improves the financial health of any Championship club for several years.

How were Burnley promoted?

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley have been a complete force, scoring the Championship’s most goals and conceding the fewest in a manner that would make his old boss, Pep Guardiola, quite proud.

Burnley’s been led by Nathan Tella’s massive goal haul as the Clarets have six players with five or more goals. Josh Brownhill has also excelled in midfield.

How were Sheffield United promoted?

Sheffield United are back in the Premier League after a two-year absence and the Blades caused a fuss in the FA Cup, losing to Manchester City in the semifinals.

23-year-old Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye led the way in attack with Oliver McBurnie and James McAtee also having fine campaigns.

Vincent Kompany signs new five-year deal with promoted Burnley

By Nicholas MendolaMay 7, 2023, 1:40 PM EDT

Vincent Kompany led Burnley to Premier League promotion and he’ll be guiding the Clarets into the top flight.

That was in serious question as rumors that Tottenham and Chelsea had interest in hiring the ex-Manchester City star as their new boss before Burnley could take the pitch in the Premier League.

And it’s a long-term deal for Kompany, who gets some serious job security while his employers raise his price tag through the 2027-28 season.

“Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start, so it also feels right to sign for the next five years,” Kompany said, via Burnley’s official web site. “Together with the fans we have made Turf Moor a fortress again and continue to look forward to the future and the job of making Burnley better with every step.”

The Championship winners ran away with the division and can breach the 100-point mark by beating Cardiff City at Turf Moor on Monday on the season’s final day.

Burnley chairman Alan Pace hailed Kompany as “an extraordinary leader” who is “setting ever higher standards and driving our club to the levels we all want to achieve.”

Vincent Kompany appointed new Burnley manager

By Nicholas MendolaJun 14, 2022, 9:30 AM EDT

Vincent Kompany was appointed as Burnley’s new manager, replacing longtime boss Sean Dyche on a permanent basis.

[ MORE: PST’s Premier League 2021-22 awards ]

After two seasons at Anderlecht, his boyhood club where he finished 4th and 3rd, the former Belgium and Manchester City captain is back in England where he’ll try to guide the Clarets back to the Premier League following their relegation to the EFL Championship.

Vincent Kompany leaves Anderlecht, in frame for Burnley manager job

“Today only one feeling prevails: I am proud that I was able to start this new chapter at the club of my heart,” Kompany said on Anderlecht’s site. “I have now been a player and a coach of RSC Anderlecht, but above all I remain a loyal fan.”

Jackson would’ve certainly been among those considered for the job, which is going to be a major project even with parachute payments. Maybe Kompany’s status helps fellow ex-Man City man Ben Mee stick around for life in the Championship, but Wout Weghorst, Maxwel Cornet, Dwight McNeil, Nick Pope, and James Tarkowski all seem likely to move onto new top-tier homes whether in England or elsewhere.

Joining Mee and Tarkowski as out-of-contract are Jack Cork, Aaron Lennon, Erik Pieters, Dale Stephens, Phil Bardsley, Ashley Barnes, and Matej Vydra.

Who does that leave? Promising Nathan Collins and an in-prime Josh Brownhill, as well as Charlie Taylor, Jay Rodriguez, and Ashley Westwood amongst others.

Kompany’s name will help get some good loanees in the door, much like we’ve seen with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. He had Joshua Zirkzee from Bayern Munich and Christian Kouame from Fiorentina last season, combining for nearly 30 goals between them.
