Messi, 33, will be a free agent in the summer and with no renewal at Barcelona already agreed, the South American great’s long-term future continues to be thrown into doubt.

The 33-year-old has spent his entire career with the Catalan giants, during a two-decade long spell which has seen the Argentinian magician win everything, multiple times.
