Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists that the club will look to renew Lionel Messi's contract, though they are in no rush to tie the club captain down to fresh terms.
Messi only signed his latest deal with the Blaugrana in November 2017, with the contract set to run through until the summer of 2021.
But with his performance levels showing no signs of slowing down - he is the only player in Europe's top five leagues with more than 20 goals this season - Barca are wary of him potentially leaving when he still has plenty left to contribute.
