Argentine legend, Mario Kempes has urged Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi not to make a return to Barcelona.
Kempes believes it is not healthy for Messi to return to Barcelona.
Messi is in the final months of his contract with PSG and he is yet to sign an extension.
There have been reports linking Messi with a return to Barcelona.
“I don’t think it is healthy for him to return to Barcelona,” Kempes said (via TyC Sport).
“He would be better off in France so that he arrives calmly at the next World Cup, he should stay there.
“Barcelona’s objectives are different. They’re still building up after leaving. There are many problems. Being selfish and thinking about the Argentine National Team, he stays at PSG.
“For physical and mental peace of mind, it’s more likely that he will reach the National Team fresher in France than in Barcelona,” he added.
Messi left Barcelona in 2021 after the Catalan club were unable to renew his contract.
