Former Barcelona midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, has welcomed Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi, back to Camp Nou.

Fabregas, who played with Messi during their time at Barcelona, said it is the dream of the club’s fans for the Argentine captain to return to the Blaugrana in the near future.

DAILY POST reports that Messi left his boyhood club, Barcelona, last summer to join PSG.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner joined PSG as Barcelona could not afford to offer him a new deal due to their financial situation.

Messi endured a difficult debut campaign in Paris, scoring just 11 goals in 34 matches in all competitions.

Speaking on ‘El Programa de COPE’, Fabregas said, “As a Barcelona fan, I hope and wish that Messi returns to Barcelona.

“He has a year left in Paris, but I would love it. It’s a dream that the club and all the fans have, but I’m speaking as a fan.”
