Barcelona club president Joan Laporta confirmed that he aims to build a statue of this team's and football legend Lionel Messi near the stadium:

We plan to erect a statue of L. Messi near the renovated Camp Nou stadium.

We want the Argentine's statue to be next to the stadium as soon as possible, and we will create a design for that.

Lionel Messi deserves a statue, and we will work on this, and he and the Argentine's family should also agree with that.

L. Messi played for Barcelona from 2004 to 2021 and scored 672 goals in 778 matches, as well as earning numerous team awards along with individual prizes.
