Lionel Messi has made it clear he will never leave Barcelona for another European club, ruling out a move to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.
City are reportedly keen to lure the Argentina international to the Premier League, while the Ligue 1 champions are also in the hunt for his signature.
"I have always said that Barcelona is my home and that I want to retire at this club, but I was talking about my European career there," Messi told France Football.
"I could never play for another European club than Barcelona.
"But I would like to play in Argentina, because I left when I was still little. I would like to know how it is to be part of the Argentine game.
"Anything can happen in football, but I have no doubts about what I want, and what I want is to stay here at Barcelona."
Messi has been a key figure for Barcelona this campaign despite missing two months through injury, scoring 19 goals in 23 appearances in all competitions.
