Lionel Messi's father and agent, Jorge Messi, said on Monday that his son would love to return to Barcelona this summer.

The Argentina captain is considering offers after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent after two seasons with the French champions.

Despite being caught on camera entering the home of Barcelona president Joan Laporta on Monday morning, Jorge Messi denied said meeting but told reporters: "Of course, he [Messi] would love to return to Barcelona. I would like it too. We will see."

Barca expect to get approval from LaLiga this week regarding their financial plans in order to begin their transfer business, which will include the anticipated re-signing of Messi.
