France fullback Eric Abidal wants to stay at Barcelona for two more seasons and is looking to wrap up a deal at a meeting with club officials on Thursday.
The 32-year-old, who is tied to the European and Spanish champions until the end of the current campaign, had surgery to remove a liver tumour seven months ago before making a triumphant return to lift the Champions League trophy in May.
"The problem is not a financial one, rather the number of seasons," he said. "We have the chat on Thursday and I will come away from it feeling very happy."
The former AS Monaco, Lille and Olympique Lyon player has been linked in the media with a move to Qatar-owned Ligue 1 side Paris St Germain, who have spent millions of euros on players to try to win a first French league title since 1994.
