"That's good," Barcelona head coach Quique Setién said when asked about Neymar's apparent desire to reunite with the LaLiga giants.
Brazil international Neymar attempted to engineer a return to his former employers last year and, though seemingly now fully committed to Paris Saint-Germain, his future could still lay in LaLiga.
"If I can watch Neymar every day, just imagine"
Barça have been tipped to reignite negotiations further down the line and their new head coach would welcome the star forward's arrival.
"That's good," Setién told Mundo Deportivo when asked about Neymar's desire for a second Barca stint.
"I love to watch and have great footballers and if I can watch Neymar every day, just imagine."
Barça captain Messi was among those pushing hardest for his former team-mate's return, admitting he would have "loved" the transfer to go ahead.
The 32-year-old claimed "some people were against" moving for Neymar despite the boost he could have given in their pursuit of yet more trophies.

No one can hide the fact that every coach wants Neymar in his squad. It doesn't matter how he behaves off the pitch but he is sensational and a joy to watch on the pitch. His name Starboy for a reason✨
