Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font wants to bring Pep Guardiola back to the Nou Camp.
Font believes the best way to keep Lionel Messi at Barcelona will be to entice former boss Guardiola back to the club from Manchester City.
Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned his presidency earlier this week, after months of criticism on Barcelona's ailing finances and struggles on the pitch.
Bartomeu never recovered from Barcelona's 8-2 Champions League quarter-final humbling at the hands of eventual tournament winners Bayern Munich.
Font has quickly become the frontrunner to succeed Bartomeu and exclusively told Sky Sports News he has a clear plan to bring back the glory days to La Liga giants involving the old Barca dynasty breathing new life into the current one.
“Replacing the best generation the world of football has ever seen, which I believe we have had over the last decade, is a big challenge,” Font said
"Most of the best professionals who know about this style are also fans and love the club, like Pep Guardiola, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Carles Puyol," Font told Sky Sports News.
"They are all legends that love Barcelona but do not work for Barca today - we need to bring them back to ensure we will have a very competitive project.
"The only thing Messi needs is to know he is part of a competitive project that aspires to win the next Champions League.
"We have no doubt that if we basically have the honour to take the helm of FC Barcelona we will be able to achieve that (Messi staying)."
Bayern's 8-2 hammering of Barcelona in August sparked Messi's protracted attempt to leave the club, but a long-mooted reunion with Guardiola at Manchester City never materialised.
Ronald Koeman is battling to steady the ship after replacing Quique Setien, but Bartomeu's resignation leaves a leadership void that Font is determined to fill.
