Barcelona playmaker Lionel Messi says he wants to spend the rest of his career at the Spanish club.
The Argentina captain scored twice on his return from a two-month injury lay-off on Wednesday as Barcelona beat Getafe 4-0 in the Copa del Rey.
“I want to retire here. While people want me, I want to spend my whole career at FC Barcelona,” said Messi.
There had been doubts over his future at Barca after a row with club director Javier Faus about a new contract.
It had been reported that Faus insisted they had no obligation to review Messi’s contract, which was extended in February to June 2018.
