The FC Barcelona forward, 29, announced his international retirement in June after Argentina's penalty shootout loss to Chile in the Copa America final.
Messi is said to have agreed to return to national team duty after meeting new Argentina manager Edgardo Bauza in Barcelona last weekend, reports CBS.com.
The newspaper also reports that Messi has stated his intention to play in his country's World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela later this year.
On Twitter, Spain-based football journalist Kieran Canning posted a series of quotes attributed to Messi.
Comments attributed to the forward include: "I consider there to be a lot of problems in Argentine football and it's not my intention to create another one.
"Thanks to all of those who want me to continue playing for Argentina. I hope that we'll give them something to cheer about soon."
