Messi slams speculation that he will leave Barcelona as 'lies'

Lionel Messi says he's staying at Barcelona - and claims reports linking him with a move to the Premier League are "lies".

The Argentine striker is believed to be unhappy at the Catalan club, and there has been widespread speculation over a falling out with manager Luis Enrique.

But Messi says he has no intention of leaving. "I don't demand anything for me to stay because I have no intention of leaving anywhere," he told Barca TV. "I've heard stories I've spoken to Chelsea or [Manchester] City, that's all lies."

And former Barcelona midfielder Ronald de Boer told Sky Sports News he doubts Messi will go anywhere.
