LIONEL MESSI is considering staying at Barcelona for one more year, according to his father.
Jorge, who is also the 33-year-old’s agent, jetted to Spain for showdown talks with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Messi reportedly has a £623million contract offer to join Manchester City this summer.
But after a “very good” meeting with the club bosses, his father admitted he could see out his contract in Spain.
Jorge was asked whether there was a possibility of the Argentine ace staying at the Nou Camp.
He simply replied: “Yes.”
When asked how the meeting with Josep Maria Bartomeu went, he said: “Very good.”
Messi demanded to leave the club on a free transfer after he handed in his transfer request.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner called for the club to activate the clause in his contract that allowed him to leave for nothing.
But the Spanish giants insisted the clause had expired – and that he could only leave if his £629m buy-out clause was met.
