Former Barcelona star Deco can see Lionel Messi eventually leaving the Nou Camp.
Messi cast doubt on is future at Barca last week while in Argentina.
"I know he'll leave one day. That's to be expected. Everything comes to an end. I understand that all sorts of speculation arises when a great player speaks, but nobody is eternal in a team, and much less so in football. Great players and great managers come and go," said Deco.
Deco stressed that a top-flight footballer's time in a team always comes to an end sooner or later: "Obviously with Messi's history at Barça, you can understand that it's hard to see him at another club, but one day it will happen. It could be this season, in a year's time or in five years. It will depend on lots of things."
