Lionel Messi has confirmed that he will not make a decision on his future until the end of the season, while teasing that he would be open to moving to MLS.

Messi’s Barcelona contract expires in the summer, meaning he is free to discuss a free transfer with clubs outside of Spain in January. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have both been strongly linked, although Barça remain hopeful of convincing the six-time Ballon d’Or winner to remain at the club beyond the end of the season. 

Giving a television interview, as rare as it was extensive, with La Sexta , Messi said that he would not enter negotiations with any club before the summer.
