Barcelona president Laporta: If Messi returned our brand would have more value

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has again raised the prospect of PSG ace Leo Messi returning to the Nou Camp next year.

Laporta admits he's constantly badged by Barca fans about re-signing the Argentine.

He said, "People ask me to return Messi to Barça and I can only answer that Messi is from Barça and that we'll see.

"With Leo at Barça our brand would have more value, because he continues to be identified with us, but even without him, the Barça brand is very powerful. We are in reconstruction and the world knows that we will return and we have a lot of strength.

"Regarding his return, I would not like to enter into controversy, he is a Paris Saint-Germain player."
