Lionel Messi’s long-time Barcelona teammate Dani Alves has opened the door for him to return to Camp Nou, less than a year after he joined Paris Saint-Germain
The Argentine’s decision to swap Catalunya for the French capital sent shockwaves through world football, with many assuming that his arrival would ensure PSG became unbeatable.

PSG were dumped out of the Champions League last week, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Real Madrid, despite holding a two-goal lead going into the closing stages. Kylian Mbappe scored in either leg to put the Parisians in complete control, before Karim Benzema sparked an almighty collapse which saw him net a memorable hat-trick.
