Despite leaving Barcelona a year ago, the Spanish giants have not hidden their desire to get him back at some point.

Barca boss Xavi has previously openly indicated that he is confident Messi's time at the Catalan club is not over.

However, Messi has remained coy on a potential move to Camp Nou, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claiming the forward is currently focused on PSG.

"Leo Messi will not make any decision on his future in the next weeks or months. Focused on Paris Saint-Germain and then World Cup, nothing will be decided or planned before the World Cup," Romano tweeted.
