Josep Maria Bartomeu is looking to extend Lionel Messi's contract.

Messi's contract currently runs through the 2021 season, though there is a clause that allows him to leave at the end of this season.

The 32-year-old Argentine reportedly wants to sign a one-year extension, with Barcelona offering him a lifetime contract.

"As long as the club and the fans want me to stay from my side there will be no problem. That's my idea, to stay here. I want to win another Champions League, I want to win more Ligas and that will always be my goal. There have always been a lot of clubs interested in me and who were even willing to meet my release clause and I have had many opportunities to leave but it never occurred to me and that hasn't changed," said Messi in an interview last January.
