Earlier this week, it was reported that the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner had agreed to sign a contract worth more than €350 million (R7.1 billion) a year with Saudi giants Al Hilal.
The news emerged days after the 35-year-old had taken an unauthorised trip to the Middle East, which led to Paris Saint-Germain suspending the forward for two weeks.
While the Rosario native subsequently apologised for his actions, rumours suggested that he could be plotting a move to join long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League.
Messi's agent, and father, Jorge Messi has now set the record straight regarding reports about his son inking the largest football contract in history with Al Hilal.
"There's absolutely nothing with no club for next year," he wrote on Instagram.
"The decision will not be taken before Lionel finishes the league with PSG. Once the season is finished, that will be the time to analyse and see what there is, and then take a decision.
"There are always rumours and lots of people use Lionel's name to gain notoriety but there is only one truth and we can assure people that there is nothing with nobody.

"Not verbal, signed, agreed, and there won't be until the season finishes.
"It seems like a lack of respect to me… that there are those who consciously and deliberately deceive people, without providing any proof of their affirmations, and wanting to turn into news any rumour that is badly intentioned or directed by somebody in favour of their interests. They should explain why they don't check their information… They wouldn't want a truth to ruin their 'news'."
