PSG midfielder Javier Pastore is backing their pursuit of Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

Should Messi decide to quit Barca this year, Pastore is convinced PSG have the spending power to bring his Argentina teammate to France.

"If Messi left Barcelona, ??the PSG owner would certainly be front and centre to speak with him," Pastore told TyC Sports.

"The money will not be a problem, he has enough to buy several Messi's."

Messi is again being linked with a move away from Barca this week over reports of a growing rift with coach Luis Enrique.
