Angel Di Maria wants Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain

Messi's future at Barcelona remains unclear with just under six months remaining on his current deal.

"We could say that there is another chance to be able to play with him but my contract is coming to an end and I do not know what will happen. But I would be very happy to play alongside him.

"My wife told me, 'if Leo comes, we will at least stay and you will make him a barbecue'.

"It would be the best. I could not ask for anything more in football."
