The Argentine has won six Ballon d'Or awards so far in his career in which only his biggest rival Cristiano Ronaldo is close with the Portuguese who has five.

Presently, Lionel Messi is having five months left on his contract at Barcelona and the Argentine has been linked with a move to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

According to the report on Sportsmole, Barcelona gaffer Ronald Koeman admitted that he will be interested in having Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Neymar left Barcelona three years ago for a move to PSG, while Mbappe joined the club from Monaco and these two stars have been superb since they got to Paris.

"If you ask me if I'm interested in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, I'd say yes.
"I don't know what will happen in the future; I can't give an opinion on those. We try to have the best squad possible."

Meanwhile, Barcelona are currently occupying third position on the Spanish La Liga table with 37 points after 19 games played so far this term.
