Though Lionel Messi's future at Barcelona remains uncertain, the Spanish club's chairman believes the Argentine superstar will retire at Barca.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

"I see Messi wanting to continue. He has always said that he wants to retire with Barca and I am convinced that this will be the case, and it will be beyond my term because he will still play for many years," Josep Maria Bartomeu told Catalan radio RAC1 on Tuesday.

Bartomeu added that he believes Messi would renew his contract with Barcelona, which will expire in June 2021.

Messi scored his 700th goal this week, reaching a new milestone in his storied career.
