"Lionel Messi is happy here and I doubt that he wants to leave. He has been here practically all his life as he arrived when he was just thirteen. He has always said that he wants to finish his career here."
Messi's father, Jorge Messi, also told L'Equipe that the "only reality" is the player's contract with Barcelona which runs until 2018:
