Messi, slow renewal

One of the collateral effects that many assumed that the return of Joan Laporta to the Barça presidential chair would cause would be the acceleration in the renewal of Leo Messi's contract. Well, according to what they point out from 'El Larguero' of the SER string, that contractual extension goes for a long time. And it is that, the Argentine star could finish the season, leave to play the Copa América and return from the tournament, which is played between June 13 and July 11 (if Argentina reaches the final), without having resolved its future.

The reason given by the sources consulted by The spar the thing is the Blaugrana team continues to have an audit open, necessary to shed light on the true financial situation of the club. Until the status of the accounts is known, a specific amount will not be able to be offered to Rosario and from the entity chaired by Laporta they are not optimistic that the aforementioned information will be known in the coming days.

They also add, Messi intends to know the direction of the club's sports project before signing a new contract, although it satisfies its economic and duration claims. That is, be informed about the coach who will sit on the bench next season, as well as the possible entries and exits that haunt the mind of the technical secretariat.

A trick that disappears

What's more, one of the tricks that Laporta hoped to play, the return of Neymar to the Camp Nou, has disappeared. The Brazilian, despite some final scramble with Barça, has recently renewed with PSG, making the reunion between the two stars impossible, at least in Barcelona. Something that, like his own Ney stated long ago, he would have loved it.

The tsunami caused last summer by the burofax has subsided, but until Leo does not definitively certify its renewal, the waters will not be completely calm. The siren songs coming from the Park of the Princes, where he could meet up with Neymar, are still present. If this wait is confirmed, Messi, whose current relationship ends in June, would spend some time being a free player, something that they will surely try to avoid in Can Barça, although, as they slide in 'El Larguero', optimism in this regard shines through his absence.
