Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to come to an end this summer, and the Argentine international has been linked with a return to Barcelona.

According to reports, Barcelona president Joan Laporta is working behind the scenes to ensure Messi returns to the Camp Nou.

Laporta had said: “I feel indebted to Leo Messi. I would like him to end his career in a Barca shirt, and be applauded at all the stadiums.

“I feel partially responsible for how things ended, and I feel that this is a temporary end and that we will make this dream a reality. At least that is the dream.”

Meanwhile, PSG sporting director Luis Campos has admitted that he has already approached Lionel Messi in order to get the Argentine to extend his stay at the club.

Campos wants Messi to remain at the club for the next three years.

“I asked Messi if he wanted to stay and I told him that I hope that he will stay here during my tenure here [3 years]. I’m very satisfied with Leo,” Campos said.
