Lionel Messi considers making current contract his last at Barcelona

Lionel Messi is considering making this contract his last at Barcelona.

Cadena SER reports internal turmoil at the club has left Messi questioning his future in Catalonia, with the maestro considering leaving the club once his £500,000-per-week contract expires in 2021.

There is growing discontent among the playing squad with Barcelona coach Quique Setien, who has failed to win over the dressing room since becoming the new coach earlier this season.

The Argentine superstar has been at the club for the duration of his career, in which he has swept every club trophy there is to win as well as countless individual accolades, including six Balon d'Ors.

On Wednesday night, the 33-year-old netted his 700th goal for the Spanish giants in their draw with Atletico Madrid in LaLiga.
