Messi, 28, and longtime companion Antonella Roccuzzo are already parents to a toddler son, Thiago, who turns three later this year.
Messi was last month voted UEFA’s best player in Europe for 2014-2015. The Argentina star — who won the Champions League, Spain’s La Liga and Spanish Cup last season with Barcelona — claimed the award for the second time.
