Messi had a difficult first season at PSG, despite scoring 11 goals and providing 15 assists in 34 appearances last season. He has started the current season with three goals in as many games. Despite his promising start to the new season with PSG, Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague believes Messi's former teammate and current Barcelona head coach Xavi wants to re-sign the Argentina international.
According to the report, Xavi is looking for players with the ability to play the game in the way that the Barcelona manager envisions. Although signing Silva this summer is a possibility, the Catalan giants may have to wait until Messi's PSG contracts expire next year before signing the 35-year-old.
