Lionel Messi's contract at Barcelona has been allowed to wind down towards its final season, seeing rumours of a departure from the club to grow.
There has been no actual indication Messi wants out of Barcelona, despite Luis Enrique's side looking increasingly fallible, especially in the Champions League.
However, Messi's partner Antonella Roccuzzo, along with Luis Suarez's wife, have made a big move which hints at where the Argentine star's plans for the future lie.

With Roccuzzo and Sofia Balbi's store based in Barcelona it may hint Messi will sign a new deal
Roccuzzo and Luis Suarez’s wife, Sofia Balbi, have teamed up to open a shoe store in Barcelona. By no means a guarantee of anything but a strong hint that the Messi family is pretty settled in Catalonia.
Until Messi officially extends his Nou Camp contract beyond 2018 then his partner's business ventures are of course nothing but conjecture.
There are less doubts about Suarez. He penned a contract extension with the club in December 2016, tying him down until 2021.
