Barcelona are desperate to reunite with club-record goal scorer Lionel Messi this summer, and Sergio Aguero is vital in making that wish come true.

According to Sportskeeda, Aguero, who played alongside Messi in the Argentine national team, is already working behind the scenes to get the 35-year-old back to Camp Nou.

"My feeling is that there is a 50% chance that Leo Messi will return at Barça. I think that Leo should retire at Barça. Barcelona is his home; he has to finish his career here. Laporta has to make an effort in bringing back Leo."

Barcelona hope to beat Inter Milan and Saudi top club Al Hilal for the services for Messi who has been reported to be keen on a return to Camp Nou this summer.

Meanwhile, Daily Post reports that Gaston Recondo, an Argentine sports pundit and journalist, has slammed PSG's supporters for their actions against Lionel Messi.

On Wednesday, French supporters protested outside the PSG's headquarters, demanding Messi leave Parc des Princes at the end of the season.

Recondo wants the reigning Ligue 1 champions to know that they will never be as big as Lionel Messi and that their fans lack cojones for their treatment of the Argentine World Cup winner.
