Former FC Barcelona star Gerard Pique has warned Lionel Messi about returning to the Camp Nou next season.
The Argentine World Cup winner is set to become a free agent at the end of the season as things stand with his contract expiring in June.
The Catalan giants have already confirmed their intention about bringing Messi back to the Camp Nou after his infamous exit in 2021 on a free transfer.

Major League Soccer side Inter Miami are also keen on signing the 35-year-old attacker, while he has also been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Pique played alongside Messi at Barcelona between 2008 and 2021 but advised caution about his former teammate returning.
"I know Rafa Yuste and how he is. He's a very good person and he will always tell you what you want to hear", as per reports from Mundo Deportivo.
"He's a great person, and he is going to choose the right words to say what you like to hear.
"Obviously for all the 'cules' it would be incredible if Leo came back, but there comes a point where forcing situations too much, can be counterproductive."
