Lionel Messi's contract is said to be a priority for Barcelona, which has also received good news on the Neymar front.

Messi has a deal until 2021 with the La Liga giant, but can leave for free at the end of the season.

If Barca can get that done, it looks like Neymar also wants a return to Camp Nou.
