‘Messi wants to end career at Camp Nou’

Barcelona FC President Josep Maria Bartomeu has once again insisted that talismanic forward Lionel Messi will stay at the club beyond his current contract. There is speculation that the record six-time Ballon d’Or winner is unhappy with the club’s leadership.

It was earlier reported by Gazzetta

dello Sport that Inter’s owners are willing to table an outrageous four-year contract offer that would see Messi earn €50 million net a year. Messi’s current contract runs through to June 2021 at the end of which he can leave the club for free. Bartomeu, however, has played down speculations and stated Messi wants to finish his career at Barcelona. He insisted that the Argentine has told him about his future at the club.
