Speculation has been rife surrounding a reunion with La Blaugrana for the Argentine, who departed for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 amid Barca's financial turmoil.
Messi endured a mixed season during his debut campaign at the Parc des Princes, and he only has one year left to run on his current contract with the reigning Ligue 1 champions.
Although PSG and Messi can agree to extend his stay until the summer of 2024, but the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner supposedly has no intention of penning a new deal at the Parc des Princes.
Barcelona vice-president Eduard Romeu recently added fuel to the fire surrounding a Messi reunion, claiming that his side now possess the financial muscle to make a move feasible.
