If he rejoins the Catalan giants this summer, Paris Saint-Germain striker Lionel Messi will resume the captaincy of Barcelona.
The Barcelona squad will once more vote to choose the first team leaders for the upcoming season after Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Gerard Pique left the club.
It is widely agreed upon inside Camp Nou that the team should choose their own captain, according to Sportskeeda.
The time of Messi's return is rapidly approaching, and if he decides to do so, the Argentine striker will likely be a contender for the team's captaincy.
According to rumours, the Barcelona management will do whatever it takes to bring back the best player in the club's historic history.
Since his influence extends beyond his previous teammates and touches the more recent additions, Messi is held in the highest regard within the Barcelona locker room.
Notably, Messi has previously worn the Barca captain's armband after Andres Iniesta retired from the position in 2018.
