Lionel Messi has not requested to leave PSG in order to return to Barcelona, according to RMC Sport.
It has been reported over recent days in the Spanish media that Messi was unhappy in Paris and was seeking a way back to Camp Nou.
El Chiringuito claimed that Messi’s father and agent Jorge Messi has spoken to Barcelona president Joan Laporta to tell him that his son wants out of PSG.

However, Messi has been heavily criticised by fans and the media following a difficult first season at the Parc des Princes.
It took him until November 20 to score his first Ligue 1 goal and now, in the middle of March, Messi has still scored just two Ligue 1 goals this season.
And to make matters worse, Messi was one of the worst performers as PSG were dumped out of the Champions League last week – capitulating from 2-0 up on aggregate to lose 3-2 to Real Madrid.
Messi – along with teammate Neymar – was booed by PSG fans in the following game against Bordeaux on Sunday.

However, according to RMC Sport, Messi has no intention of leaving PSG this summer in order to return to Barcelona.
Indeed, Messi is determined to stay at the Parc des Princes in order to lead PSG to Champions League glory next season.
Despite criticism over his perceived indifference at PSG’s exit, the Argentine is said to be as angry and disappointed as fans at the exit to Madrid and doesn’t blame supporters for booing him.
RMC Sport adds that there has been no contact between Barcelona and Messi’s entourage over a return to Catalonia since he left last summer.
Messi is said to be now settled off the pitch in Paris together with his family and will definitely be staying next season.
