The relationship between both parties has been really good up until now. "I hope that, in terms of elite football, Messi plays here forever. There’s no better place for him, although it’s a matter which must be dealt with in private by Barcelona."  Messi may have missed out on the biggest individual accolades of 2016 to Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but he is still enjoying a fine campaign at Camp Nou. He was among the goals again on Saturday as Barca blitzed Las Palmas 5-0, with a solitary strike in that contest taking him to 27 for the season in just 24 appearances.</blockquote>
