According to Barcelona president Bartomeu, the magical Lionel Messi is reported to be “already playing under” a new contract.
He said that Messi’s father who is also his agent has signed a deal that keeps the Argentine at Camp Nou until 2021 and said:
“We will take the photo with Messi’s signature, hopefully before the end of the year, but the contract has been signed by his father who has the power of his image rights. This contract is signed until 2021 and he is already playing under it”.
This statement would go some way in strengthening the faith of the fans who are yet to get over the transfer loss of Neymar to PSG and who are in an understandable state of panic as regards the status of their star man. Messi has been influential right from the beginning of a season that many had thought would be disastrous for the Catalonian team and they have currently won four of their four opening matches and are yet to concede their first goal of this campaign.
