The 33-year-old tried to leave Barcelona over the summer, before deciding to stay in his final year of contract just a week later.
Messi has already scored the most goals in the history of Spanish La Liga, the most hat tricks in the Spanish Premier League and the most goals scored for his club and country in one year.
