Messi wants this former Barcelona star back at Camp Nou

However, Argentine forward believes it is going to be complicated

Barcelona's star striker Lionel Messi wants to see his former teammate Neymar back at Camp Nou, according to Marca.

In a wide-ranging interview the Argentine forward said Brazilian's return would be complicated since his new club Paris-Saint Germain won't let go of their star.

"I see it as complicated," the Barca captain said. "We would love him to come back for what he means, both as a player and for the locker room.

He continued: "We are friends, we have lived very nice moments, others not so much, but we have spent a lot of time together. However, I find it very difficult [for him] to even leave Paris. PSG are not going to let Neymar get taken away."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner also hopes of a future reunion with former Barcelona coach and current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

"Although it is difficult, I would like to work with Guardiola again," he said. "He is one of the best coaches in the world. That's why I would like [him to come back], but I'm telling you that I see it as complicated."
