And this conversation has taken place after Barcelona were knocked out of CL by Liverpool last season, after which Messi has advised Neymar to leave Paris Saint-Germain and return to Barcelona where they could win the CL together. And after Messi's departure, Neymar will take his place.
Though Neymar's return did not materialize this summer as, Kylian Mbappe and Marco Verratti were claimed to be begging Neymar to stay. But the player doesn't have good relationship with PSG sporting Director Leonardo and though he is expected to stay in France for the rest of the season, a possible return negotiation could be reopened next summer.
So, it seems that there is less than two years left to see Messi at Barcelona and we should enjoy as long as it lasts!
There is no information to where Messi would be going.
