Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi has hinted at a move away from the Spanish La Liga by following Manchester City on social media.

The Argentine and his father recently suspended contract renewal talks with Barcelona.

He's said to be angry over media reports that he's the cause of the sack of former manager of the club, Ernesto Valverde, and other issues at the club.

However, Barcelona president, Josep Bartomeu said Messi plans to end his career with Barcelona.

Bartomeu told Movistar: “I’m not going to give details of the negotiations, but he has said many times that he wants to finish his career at Barcelona.

“Right now, we are focused on the competition and there are negotiations with lots of players. Messi wants to continue at Barca and he wants to end (his career) here. He has many years left and we’re going to enjoy him for a long time.”
