Is he extending his contract or not? There is still no clarity about the future of Lionel Messi. Now it is apparently supposedly certain when the superstar will decide. An insider explains.

“Right now nobody knows what he’s going to do. Not even himself. My feeling is that he feels very comfortable at the club and will wait for the result of the elections on January 24. Depending on the new president’s project, he will decide whether he extends or goes on free transfer, “Josep Maria Minguella told LE PARISIEN.
Josep Maria Minguella is 79 years old and an old hand in the industry. As a player’s agent, he was involved in the transfer from Diego Maradona († 60) to Barcelona, and he is said to have been involved in the move of the young Lionel Messi to the youth department of FC Barcelona 20 years ago.
FC Barcelona member Minguella also commented on Neymar’s recent advances (“I want to play with Messi again”).
“Leo wants to play with Neymar again. This desire is mutual. They both know that together they have more opportunities to win titles,” said Minguella.

Victor Font and Jordi Farre promise to stay with Messi
Meanwhile, two presidential candidates are catching votes with promises to extend Messi’s contract at Camp Nou. “If I become president, Messi will renew. At the moment the team is bad, there was no project, but he is still the best in the world,” said Victor Font according to SPORT.
“He is the best player in the history of football and we have to offer him an inspiring project. We will be able to motivate him and hope that he will sign a new contract the day after I become president,” said Fonts rival Jordi Farre .
