Lionel Messi, even at the age of 30, remains Barcelona’s best season. He was their top scorer last season, as usual, and enjoyed an impressive personal season despite only winning Copa del Rey.
As a result, getting the Argentine to sign a new deal is priority number one at the Blaugrana. Reports have suggested that an extension has been agreed upon, with only Leo’s signature remaining. However, the lack of an announcement has kept fans at unease.
La Pulga is currently away on holiday. Messi recently married his long-term partner Antonela Roccuzzo and is away on honeymoon with the mother of his two kids.
According to Goal, the Albiceleste captain will put pen to paper on a new deal with Barcelona upon his return from honeymoon. The attacker is due back in Catalonia around July 12.
With the pre-season right around the corner, Barcelona players are expected to return for duty on that day in Sant Joan Despi to undergo medical examinations. Goal claim that the speculation surrounding Messi’s future will be put to rest then.
Barcelona’s record goalscorer is expected to sign a contract which will keep him at Camp Nou until 2021. Furthermore, he is tipped to earn €22m per year after tax, a salary which will make him the highest-paid footballer.
