Ronaldinho hopes Lionel Messi signs his new deal with Barcelona.

However, he will remain a supporter should the Argentine leave.

"It's difficult for me to say anything because he's a close friend, and I will always be bound by friendship.

"If his heart indicates that he should go to another club and taking into account that I'm a Barcelona ambassador, I would support him.

"Although what I would like is that he stays at Barcelona. Wherever he plays he would make the difference," said Ronaldinho.
