Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has lent his voice to the calls for Lionel Messi to return to the club this summer, insisting that forging a partnership with the Argentina captain would be easy.

PSG star Lionel Messi will bring his two-year stay in Paris to an end this summer and his likely destination remains former stomping ground, Nou Camp, home of Barcelona.

Barca striker Lewandowski, in an interview with Spanish Outlet Sport, claimed he couldn't wait for Messi to arrive.

"We have to wait to see if Leo comes to Barcelona. I hope he comes. Maybe something more concrete will be known in a few days," he said. 

"I know that playing with him is very easy, because Leo can play with you from any position on the field at any time in the game. He is a player that any team would like to have."
