How can Barcelona re-sign Lionel Messi?

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Barcelona writer Pol Ballus and PSG writer Peter Rutzler to debate the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona two years on from leaving.
The panel assess how the La Liga side could afford a move for their former star, his relationship with the PSG supporters having been booed in recent home matches, while his name has been chanted at Camp Nou.
Plus, what commercial impact could it have on PSG if he were to leave and if not Barcelona what other options are open to Messi?
