Former Barcelona defender Eric Abidal insists Lionel Messi will not "screw the club" and believes the Argentine will stay at Camp Nou for the remainder of his career.
It has been a turbulent start to 2015 for the Catalans, who saw their appeal against their two-window transfer ban rejected and their star forward's future at Camp Nou called into question.
"I know Leo well," said Abidal. "He is a well educated guy, he's not here to screw the club and others. He has character, he respects people.
"As he put it, he's at Barca, but doesn't know what tomorrow brings. That's sport. But yes, I believe he will finish his career at Barcelona and I hope he stays.
"Barca's his home and he has already shown what he can do on the field."
Messi finished second in the 2014 Ballon d'Or, well behind winner Cristiano Ronaldo and just 0.04 per cent ahead of third-placed Manuel Neuer.
