Midfielder Leandro Paredes has called on Paris Saint-Germain to make an approach for Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.

With his contract due to expire next summer, the 33-year-old is currently in a position where he can hold discussions with foreign clubs in January.

Manchester City, managed by Messi's former boss Pep Guardiola, remain as favourites to get a deal over the line for the Argentine superstar.

However, speaking after PSG's win over Manchester United in the Champions League, Paredes acknowledged that he would like to see his compatriot at Parc des Princes.

Paredes is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "What I want the most is to enjoy playing with him again. He can play in my role, it wouldn't be a problem with me. For sure, next year we have to do it."

Neymar has also revealed that he wants to play with his former Barca teammate during the 2021-22 campaign.
