Font did not just criticise; he offered a concrete vision for a reconciliation. He revealed that his team has been working on a "three-pronged" proposal designed to entice Messi back to Catalonia, covering institutional, commercial, and sporting roles. While Messi is currently under contract with Inter Miami in MLS, Font insists that the door is not closed on a final chapter at Barcelona.
"It's something that will excite Barca fans," he said of his plan for "the best player in history".
Font's campaign has the backing of legendary former midfielder and coach Xavi, who he says sees the need for a complete overhaul of the club's leadership.
"He's very disappointed with the current board. Xavi feels very betrayed and what he wants is a change of model, a modernisation of the club, and for the presidency to stop being so personalistic," he added.
