Barcelona plan to extend Lionel Messi's contract until 2022 at least with the Argentine star as central to their trophy ambitions as ever.

Messi, 31, is already contracted to Barcelona until 2021 following his last extension in November 2017 and has a €700million (£604m) release clause.

But, according to Mundo Deportivo, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu wants to offer Messi a fresh deal that would tie him to the Nou Camp until either 2022 or 2023.
