Messi’s contract, 35, expires with Paris Saint-Germain next summer, amid speculation that he will move to Inter Miami.
But Al-Khulaifi apparently has another opinion, as he said: "We agreed to sit down together after the World Cup, but both sides, club and player, are very happy, so we’ll talk after that world Cup".
The club president expressed his confidence in the player staying in the French capital, praising his performance with Paris Saint-Germain and with the Argentina national team in the World Cup.
He continued: "He is very happy. You can see that with the elect. If the player is not happy, you will see that he is not doing well with the national team".
Al-Khulaifi continued talking about Messi saying: "He gave us a great performance this season. He scored and assisted many goals for the Argentina national team and for his club".
Messi has performed well in the World Cup so far, and has succeeded in leading the national team "Tango dancers" to the quarter-finals, where they will meet the Netherlands in a summit match, on Friday.
