New York City FC striker David Villa expects Lionel Messi to pen a new Barcelona deal.
Messi is yet to commence new contract talks with Barca.
But former teammate Villa says: “I have no information, I think it will happen [a renewal] in the future, sooner or later, because Barcelona love Messi and Messi loves Barça, anything else we can't imagine."
Of his own decision to leave Barca, Villa was clear.
“I decided to leave for another team to have more of a key role," he added.
