The former Blaugrana star is eager to see the mercurial Argentine sign a new contract and the Catalan coach return to his roots
Adriano wants to see the "dream" pairing of Lionel Messi and Pep Guardiola reunited at Barcelona, with "doors open" to make that a possibility.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner at Camp Nou is in the process of running down his contract, with no extension agreed as yet by the legendary one-club man.
Fresh terms are being mooted for Messi, along with talk of new challenges being taken on elsewhere, but any decision on his future will be delayed until the summer.
