"Leo Messi has a contract through to the 2020/21 season, but (Messi) is able to leave Barca before the final season," cbssports quoted Bartomeu telling Barca TV.
However, the Barca President has insisted that they are not worried about Messi's future at the Catalan club.
"We want Messi to play for Barca through to 2021 and beyond. We are very calm," he said.
Messi is yet to play for Barcelona so far this season due to an injury.
