Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez are reportedly the only two players who are pushing for Lionel Messi to remain at Barcelona.

The majority of Barcelona's first-team squad have reportedly remained silent on the future of Lionel Messi.

In the week since Messi expressed a desire to leave Camp Nou, the forward and club officials have been in dispute over a potential transfer fee.

However, while the Catalan giants are pushing to retain the services of their greatest ever player, it appears to be a different story in the dressing room.

According to Sky Sports News, only Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez have called on the La Liga outfit to keep hold of the Argentine for the 2020-21 campaign.

After the appointment of Ronald Koeman, both players also allegedly find themselves in a position where their future may be away from Barcelona.

The report suggests that other senior players, such as Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, have not voiced their opinion behind the scenes.
