Lionel Messi has reportedly rocked new Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman by telling him he doesn't see a future for the Catalan club.

Messi has been strongly liked with a move away from the Camp Nou this summer following Barcelona's 8-2 demolition at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Barcelona have shuffled the pack following the defeat with boss Quique Setien and sporting director Eric Abidal leaving, and Koeman being named the club's new head coach.

A number of high-profile players are also in contention to be sold, although Messi is not among these names, and president Josep Maria Bartomeu may stand down.
