Carlos Tevez is confident Lionel Messi will commit his future to Barcelona, with Newell’s Old Boys the only side that could lure him away from Camp Nou.
The Argentine superstar has made no secret of his desire to head home at some stage, having spent his entire professional career to date in Catalonia.
Messi was on Newell’s books as a youngster, and he has gone on to become one of the finest players on the planet, with his legacy as an all-time great already safely cemented.
His future is, however, generating plenty of speculation at the moment, with no extension agreed to a contract that is due to expire in 2018.
Tevez – an international team-mate of Messi’s – remains confident that the 29-year-old will stay put until the time comes to return to his roots.
He said in quotes published by Marca: "The renewal for him, it is not a matter of money, it's more about what his heart tells him.
"It's difficult to have a long relationship such as the one Barcelona and Messi have had, and I don't think he will leave.
"The day he does, I think he it will only be so he can go home to join Newell's Old Boys - but it's a personal decision for him."
