Josep Maria Bartomeu confident Lionel Messi will retire at Barcelona

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu believes that Lionel Messi will retire at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu believes that Lionel Messi will retire at the Camp Nou.

The Argentine, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in the history of the sport, has scored 359 goals in 432 games for the Catalan outfit since making his debut in 2004.

Manchester City and Chelsea have both been linked with big-money moves for the 27-year-old in recent transfer windows, but Bartomeu has said that the player is "very happy at Barcelona".

"I spoke to Messi a little while ago and he's very happy at Barcelona. I don't see any possibility of him leaving the club," he told RMC.

Messi has been with Barcelona since 2000.
