Barcelona president Joan Laporta has declared Lionel Messi WANTS to return.

Laporta has announced his relationship with the unsettled PSG star has improved and that the Argentine wants to come back.

As Barca celebrated this season's title triumph, the president said: “Leo is still in Paris, with not pleasant situations. I wouldn't want to bother him now. We will try to improve the team in all lines. I have spoken with Messi to redirect the situation. It was very nice. We have recovered the relationship.

"Messi wants Barça, he feels this club is his home, but now we would do him a bad favor.

"Arabia? Barça is Barça. In Arabia they are doing a good job, investing, but I insist, Barça is his home."

Laporta added: “We have a fairly worked market. We will be in a position to reinforce all the lines if LaLiga approves the feasibility plan. All the players want to come to Barça. This is very important."
