Barcelona president Joan Laporta had planned to fly out for the World Cup final with intentions of convincing Lionel Messi to re-join the club, according to reports.
Sunday's final saw Messi finally win the World Cup title after a thrilling encounter saw Argentina emerge victorious against France after a penalty shoot-out.
The 35-year-old forward will now have time to assess the options for his domestic career - with his current PSG deal expiring next summer - and Laporta is aiming to ensure his side are the frontrunners to secure Messi's signature.
According to MARCA, Barca president Laporta had planned to travel to Qatar for the final but made a last minute decision to stay at home.
His intentions had been to discuss with Messi a possible return to the Camp Nou but decided that Sunday's final may not have been the best occasion to do so.
During the election campaign that brought him to the presidency, Laporta insisted that he would try everything to keep Messi at Barcelona - however he was unable to due to their worrying financial troubles.
The forward joined French side Paris Saint-Germain where he has spent a season-and-a-half. His current deal will expire in the summer and he'll be allowed to leave for free.
The same outlet claim that Messi will receive offers from PSG to remain at the club, an offer from Barcelona and an offer from America.
It's understood that David Beckham's MLS side, Inter Miami, will offer the global superstar a mega-deal in an attempt to get him to America.
The outlet claim that they will offer Messi $14 million (£11.5m) a year to persuade him to move continent once his deal at the Parc des Princes expires.
The MLS side have been linked with Messi's former team-mate Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets in recent weeks, which could help convince the Argentine.
Messi ended his career-long wait to win the World Cup title on Sunday afternoon after a thrilling penalty shoot-out win over France in Qatar.
The 35-year-old scored a brace in the match - with a first-half penalty and extra-time effort - before slotting away his spot-kick in the shoot-out that followed.
A hat-trick from France's Kylian Mbappe in the 3-3 draw proved futile as Messi and Argentina stormed to victory for the first time in the competition since 1986.
