Argentine legends hints at Messi's possible return to Barcelona (Barca Universal)

Former Manchester City and Argentina footballer Pablo Zabaleta has dropped a hint that Lionel Messi could be considering returning to Barcelona next year.

Given the circumstances of his exit, it would be fair to say that Messi deserves a better send-off, considering everything he achieved at Barcelona. [Joan Laporta has spoken in the media on multiple occasions](https://barcauniversal.com/laporta-gives-massive-update-on-messi-to-barcelona-talks-possible-with-the-right-plan/) stating his desire to bring Messi back to Camp Nou, claiming that the 35-year-old’s chapter at the club is not over. So, as things stand, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will become a free agent next summer unless he decides to extend his stay at Parc des Princes.

And they have made their move for the Manchester City ace by sending in an offer worth €70 million. Luis Campos, who signed Silva at Monaco, is now the sporting director at PSG, which could explain their strong interest in him.

Chelsea may sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'within 24 hours' as ... (Daily Express)

CHELSEA are said to be in talks with Barcelona over a potential move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

They are said to have a handful of other irons in the fire, with AC Milan talisman Rafael Leao also believed to be a target for Chelsea as things stand. Chelsea reportedly submitted a bid in the region of £16million in exchange for Aubameyang earlier this week, but Barcelona are said to be holding out for around £25m in order to part ways with the Gabonese striker. The Blues are still believed to be on the lookout for a new first-choice striker, with those in power at Stamford Bridge having failed to source a replacement for Romelu Lukaku in the weeks since the Belgian forward's loan move to Inter Milan earlier this summer.

After months of talks with Manchester United, it has been reported that Frenkie de Jong will now only leave Barcelona if he is replaced by Bernardo Silva.

If City and Barca do strike a deal for Silva, finding an agreement for De Jong to leave will also need to be found in order to complete the chain. Speaking about the reports that his former side are keen on signing Silva, Pep Guardiola said: “I'm no one to tell Barca to forget about Bernardo. De Jong is also free to leave the club, but reportedly his move away relies on an agreement being reached for Silva to join the club. Depay is also set to depart, with reports circulating that his contract with Barca will be terminated so that he can join Juventus. The Portuguese playmaker has been linked with a move to the Camp Nou this summer, though an offer is yet to arrive for the midfielder. It is no secret that Barcelona are not in a financial position to submit significant bids for players, especially after their minor spending spree already this summer.
