Higuain has only spent one full season at current club Napoli, but he has been strongly linked with a return to La Liga following a six-year spell at Barca's arch rivals Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old striker enjoyed a strong debut campaign in Italy, scoring 17 league goals as Napoli clinched third place in Serie A.
However, Messi has fuelled further talk of a possible transfer by stating that he "would love" for Higuain to join him at Camp Nou.
"I've talked to (Higuain) and the truth is I would love him to come to Barcelona and have him as a partner for the club," said Messi at a press conference ahead of Argentina's FIFA World Cup match with Iran on Saturday.
