Barcelona captain's deal at club expires in 2021
Messi, whose deal expires in 2021, had called his side "weak" and "inconsistent" after they lost the league title to Real Madrid.
The 33-year-old Argentina forward scored twice as runners-up Barcelona thrashed Alaves 5-0 on the final day of La Liga, landing him the division's top scorer's award for a record seventh time.
"Messi has said many times that he wants to retire here and I have no doubt that he will re-sign," Barca president Bartomeu told Mundo Deportivo.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has been linked with a return to Nou Camp but Bartomeu said the only way for Barcelona to sign the Brazil forward would be through a player exchange.
