The term of the current contract between Lionel Messi and Barcelona expires in the summer of 2018 and the Argentine still has not signed a new deal.

"I do not think that the situation with Leo is a problem in the absence of dialogue," Iniesta said..

"The club wants Leo to stay, he wants it and he. I hope that his story in Barcelona will never end ".

"It is unique, we can not without it and, I think, the club of the same opinion. It's just a matter of time, but I hope that he will renew the contract as soon as possible ".

In the current season, Messi spent nine games for Barcelona in all tournaments, in which he scored 13 goals and gave two assists.
