Barcelona are reportedly prepared to offer a new two-year contract to Lionel Messi, despite the forward expressing a desire to leave Camp Nou.

Barcelona may reportedly offer Lionel Messi the opportunity to pen a new two-year contract.

Last week, the 33-year-old informed club officials that he wished to end his long-term association with the Catalan giants, feeling that he could depart on a free transfer.

This claim has been refuted by Barcelona, however, subsequently resulting in the relevant parties being at loggerheads over the past seven days.

Nevertheless, in a bid to resolve the situation, ESPN may be prepared to hand the 33-year-old a deal until 2022.

As it stands, that appears unlikely, with Messi said to be aiming for a reunion with former boss Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Talks are allegedly due to take place between the player's father Jorge Messi and club president Josep Maria Bartomeu on Wednesday.
