Seydou Keita: "I would like to retire at Barcelona"

Seydou Keita has revealed that he would like to end his career with Barcelona.

Despite having 24 months remaining on his current contract at the Nou Camp, the Mali international has been heavily linked with a transfer.

However, the holding midfielder has admitted that his number one wish would be to stay with Barca for the remainder of his playing days.

"I am yet to speak with the club to sort out my future," Keita told Mundo Deportivo. "But I want to continue. This is my desire. I would like to retire at Barcelona, so I hope that can be the case.

"We must talk and see what they offer and what they want. But my family is happy in Barcelona."

AC Milan and Malaga are reportedly the main contenders for the 32-year-old's signature.
