Lionel Messi has admitted that he may be willing to move to China in the future.
The Barcelona star is currently in contract talks with the Catalan club as he enters the final year of his existing deal.
While an extension is likely to be reached for the five-time Balon d'Or winner, Messi who turned 30 on Saturday, has refused to rule out a move to the Far East in the future.
“[Staying at Barca] is what I’ve always wanted, what I always dreamt of and what I always said I’d do," he told Tencent, ESPN's partner in China.
“But I wouldn’t say [moving to China] is impossible, no? “No one can say that anything is impossible in football.
“Anything can happen [in football] but today I’ll tell you — no, it hasn’t crossed my mind.”
Messi netted 54 goals in 52 games last season, as he proved that he is still at the top of his game.
