Barcelona plans new deal for Lionel Messi: Wants to keep him a ‘one club man’

Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu has confirmed the club’s readiness to ensure Lionel Messi remains a “one-club man” forever and is ready to offer him a new contract to keep him at Camp Nou.

The Argentine forward, who joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old, signed a new four-year contract at the Nou Camp in November 2017 but Bartomeu says the club is already looking to extend that deal.

The 31-year-old football legend has been in a sensational form this season, scoring 42 goals in 39 games, and Bartomeu wants Messi to be forever linked with Barcelona, even after he hangs up his boots.

“We would like to renew his contract, that’s the idea. He is young – you can see that – and he still has two years on his deal,” he tells ESPN.

“He’s always improving, always innovating. I believe he still has many years in front of him and in the coming months we will sit down with him so that he has many more years at Barcelona.

“Messi is a one-club man. It’s more than what he does on the pitch – his relationship with Barca will last forever. I use the example of Pele, who was always at Santos. We want Messi to always be at Barca, whether that’s playing or linked to the club.”

Josep Maria Bartomeu hailed Messi and expressed their intentions:

“We want him to have a really long career so we can keep on enjoying him. Lionel’s managed to break down borders. Everyone admires him and he’s applauded at other stadiums by rival fans.”

Messi has scored 42 goals this season and won nine La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and six Copa del Rey crowns, with Barcelona eight points clear in the league and in another domestic cup final already this season.

The Catalan club is set to face Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
