In a stunning development, reports from *Cadena SER* suggest that **Lionel Messi** may be preparing to play a role in **FC Barcelona’s 2026 presidential elections**. The Argentine legend is said to be considering **supporting an opposition candidate** who could challenge current president **Joan Laporta**.
While no official statement has been made by Messi or his representatives, the speculation has already sparked intense debate among fans and analysts. Many view it as a potential turning point in Barça’s political landscape, especially given Messi’s complicated history with Laporta following his emotional exit from the club in 2021.
If true, Messi’s influence could reshape the direction of the club once again — not on the pitch this time, but in the boardroom.
