Barcelona defender Eric Garcia is hoping Lionel Messi signs a new contract.
Messi is currently a free agent as he prepares with Argentina to meet Brazil in the final of the Copa America.
Garcia said, "I hope he will extend.
"No need to say how good he is, the best player there has ever been. I hope to be able to share the locker room with him."
Garcia returned to Barca this summer from Manchester City.
