Lionel Messi said he and his family plan to reside in Barcelona when his playing days are over, which would mark a return to the city after his self-described "strange" exit from the club in 2021.

Etta Eyong has emerged as one of the rising stars in La Liga, establishing himself as a leader of the Levante frontline.

Laporta also confirmed that plans are already in the works for Messi, who will receive a tribute ceremony from Barcelona when the time is right, to be honoured with a statue at the Spotify Camp Nou.
