Messi is very close to saying yes to Barça and continuing for two more years dressed in his lifelong shirt. As reported by the journalist Miguel Rico, the signature of the Argentine cfack, which has only given “facilities” to Barça in the negotiation, is only pending “structural details.”
All the roads and all the tracks were approaching the renewal of Leo Messi. The last one, the signing of Kun Agüero, which had been closed for more than two months and was aimed at winking at the Argentine although, as is obvious, the history of the Argentine crack goes beyond that of the incorporation of a partner.
If Messi's renewal for the next two seasons finally takes place, the door would be opened to one more contract for the Argentine with the Barça club, or to the idea that Messi, before returning to the Barça club, would play in the United States as of the 2023-24 season. Collaterally, Messi's renewal could also affect the signing of Mbappé with Real Madrid, as PSG is left without the star they wanted and, if the French striker left, he would only be left with one galactic, Neymar.
“The sooner the better”
Joan Laporta spoke about Messi during the presentation of Èric García: “The renewal of Messi is not pending the audit. I already said the other day that it was going well and we hope that they continue to progress. We, more or less, already have the result for the year. For this specific operation we had already done a reservation and we had prepared a strategy. We want to make you a proposal. It goes well, but it is not done. The Leo issue is not a money issue on his part. For our part, we know the framework of possibilities that we have and he is showing a lot of understanding. He wants to continue with this reflection and I want a club that win Champions, Leagues. But none of these signings are made in relation to these negotiations. We know that Leo wants to stay and we are valuing him a lot. “
“We are already prepared; and the sooner the better. Because the doubts that there may be will dissipate and help us to build the team faster. The sooner we have decided the better, because there is desire and the relationship is very good. “
