LIONEL MESSI relaxes with his wife Antonella and family on holiday in Ibiza – as he contemplates whether to leave Barcelona.
The Nou Camp legend was just in shorts as he holidayed on the Spanish island ahead with his three children ahead of Barca’s Champions League clash.

The Argentine six-time World Player of the Year has been linked with a move to Manchester City, Juventus and Inter Milan.
Many pundits think Messi could be on his way if Barca crash out to Napoli in the Champions League this week.
Talks have stalled on renewing his £1.15million-a-week contract.
Messi’s contract at the Nou Camp runs out next year.
He has already allegedly told Nou Camp chiefs to appoint Barca legend Xavi as coach.
The Argentine was disappointed with the team’s form in LaLiga, where they finished second behind champions Real Madrid.
Messi married his childhood sweetheart, Argentine model Antonella Roccuzzo in July 2017.
He posted a photo of his family with the words ‘familia’ on his Instagram account yesterday.
It was liked by nearly 1.2million people.
But his football career has stalled and he seems unhappy at the Nou Camp, with a couple of outbursts this year.
The 33-year-old has not won the Champions League since 2015.
Messi could move this summer, when Barca could get top dollar for him.
The Catalans are still struggling financially in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic and football’s shutdown.
That has stopped them signing Neymar in a £200m deal, a transfer coveted by Messi.
With Luis Suarez also now 33, and Spain defender Gerard Pique, also 33, reaching the end of his career, it could be some time before Barca dine again at Europe’s top table.
