Lionel Messi reveals that he wants to stay at Barcelona for the rest of his career and has no ambitions to play in the Premier League.

Lionel Messi has revealed that he has no plans to play in the Premier League in the future as he wants to remain at Barcelona for the rest of his career.

While he admits he enjoys watching Premier League football, the 2011 Fifa Ballon d'Or winner has no ambitions to move to England because he wants to see out his playing days at the Nou Camp.

"It's a league I like. I have friends that are playing there and I follow it as and when I can. Players I like are Kun Aguero and Rooney," he told Sky Sports.

"The truth is my idea has been to always stay in Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here."

The Argentine added: "Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career."

Messi has scored a staggering 50 goals in just 44 appearances for the Catalan outfit this season.
