Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has told Lionel Messi that he would like the Argentine star to stay with the club until he retires. Messi, who has been with the Catalan giants since the age of 13, was linked with a move away from the Nou Camp earlier this year after a reported falling out with the board. Bartomeu, however, has reiterated the club's stance that Messi will always have a place at the Nou Camp. Lionel Messi has a place at Barcelona until 'he decides to retire', claim club president . He told RMC: 'We work with a leader like Messi, who is the best in the world, but also in history. 'He has a place here until he decides to quit football.' Messi, who scored his 400th goal for Barca in Saturday's 2-0 triumph over Valencia, is set to play alongside Luis Suarez and Neymar on Tuesday night as Luis Enrique's side face their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. Suarez scored twice after a Neymar opener at the Parc des Princes last week before Gregory van der Wiel gave PSG a glimmer of hope to take into the Nou Camp.
