Lionel Messi has added his voice to the campaign to bring Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona.
Fabregas, 23, has been at the heart of a transfer battle between the clubs after he told manager Arsene Wenger of his desire to move back to the Nou Camp. A £29 million bid has already been rejected by the Gunners, but new president Sandro Rosell is expected to keep hammering away at their resistance.
Already this week, Spain World Cup winning goal scorer Andres Iniesta has urged Fabregas to make the move, while Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique forced a Barca shirt on him in Madrid.
Speaking from Panama, where tonight he captains a select XI in a charity match featuring players such as Martin Palermo, Lucio and Marco Materazzi, Messi hoped for a reunion with his former youth team colleague.
"For me it would be great," Messi said.

"I played with him in the youth teams and he knows Barcelona.", do you think that the two stars should play under the same outfit?
