Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo says the players will welcome the re-signing of PSG star Leo Messi.

Messi is in talks with Barca president Joan Laporta about a summer return.

"Generally we don't talk about it, but Messi is always welcome and more so here at Barça," said Araujo, who also discussed his contractual situation at Barça.

"I have a contract until 2026, what happens is that the renewal contract is not registered. I am very happy here.

"I have a contract and that is the most important thing."

Araujo also described departing captain Sergi Busquets as "one of the best midfielders" and pointed out that "he is extraordinary not only as a player but as a person".
