Messi, who already has 7 goals and 10 assists in 12 Ligue 1 games this season and 4 goals contribution in 4 Champions League games for Christophe Galtier’s side, has been tipped to return to Barcelona after his contract with PSG expires with the club president publicly admitting he his open to his return.
