Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo would welcome PSG star Leo Messi back to the club.

Araujo spoke to Jijantes and assessed Messi's possible return to Barça.

Asked who he would sign if he could decide at Barça, he was clear: "If I were Mateu Alemany, I would sign (Rodrigo) Bentancur and Messi."

The Uruguayan is convinced that the return of the Argentine would be great news for Barca.

He explained: "Obviously he is a player that everyone wants in the team, it would be something tremendous, something special, I don't know how things will work out, but of course we would love it."

Araujo also nominated Uruguay teammate Bentancur, who is now with Tottenham.
