Reports: Barcelona begins negotiations to bring Lionel Messi back to Camp Nou 

 
The latest Spanish reports said that Barcelona has begun negotiations with Argentine Legend Lionel Messi, about the possibility of returning to the "Camp Nou". The Catalan side is keen to bring the Argentine back to the club before he hangs up his boots as a professional footballer. As per a report by Cat Radio, Barcelona is in talks with Messi regarding a return next summer. The forward's contract at PSG expires at the end of the season, after which he will become a free agent. Messi had to leave Barcelona last summer after the club could not afford to renew his contract. The Argentine had agreed on a new deal with a massive wage cut, but La Liga rules prevented them from registering him. PSG pounced on the situation and signed the forward on a free transfer. He had a sub-par debut season with the Ligue 1 side. He netted 11 goals and laid out 15 assists in 34 games for the French giants. Messi has begun the new season on a brighter note for PSG. He scored twice in the season opener against Clermont Foot, which included a stunning overhead kick. Xavi has commented on reports of Barcelona's plans to bring Lionel Messi back to Camp Nou. He has admitted that a deal is impossible this summer but has left the door open for a possible transfer next summer, as he told reporters.
Xavi described the idea of Messi coming back to Camp Nou one year after his departure as "impossible" at the moment because of his PSG contract, but he admitted that his outlook could change in the future.
