Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has affirmed that he is not bothered about recent reports linking Lionel Messi with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 33-year-old unsuccessfully tried to push for an exit last summer, although recent developments in his long-running transfer saga have suggested that he could be open to penning a new deal.
However, Messi will be able to leave in the summer as things stand, and PSG are thought to have offered the six-time Ballon d'Or winner an 'unbeatable' three-year contract to join the club ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
Koeman remains unfazed by the speculation surrounding his talisman's future, though, telling reporters: "I'm not interested in PSG, I don't know if it's true.
"I hope he stays with us. For me, he should finish here because he's spent his whole life here, but ultimately it's a decision that he will have to make. It doesn't worry me at all. I'm just focused on winning [against Granada on Thursday]."
Messi boasts a total of 47 goal contributions (33 goals, 14 assists) from 42 games in all competitions this season, and Manchester City are still thought to be in the running for his signature if he does end his association with Barca.
