Will Lionel Messi stay with FC Barcelona? A contract extension is still a long time coming. Rivaldo believes in a happy ending.

“Messi has looked a lot happier since Laporta’s arrival. He’s a president he knows well,” said the 2002 Brazilian world champion on his BETFAIR blog: “That’s why I think more and more that Messi can reach an agreement with the new board and sign a new contract. “
Messi wanted to leave Barcelona last summer after disappointments and anger with the former board member led by Josep Maria Bartomeu, but was not allowed to leave.
At first, the ban on changing seemed to depress the mood of the superstar. Meanwhile, La Pugla is smiling more often again, and the Catalans have returned to the road to success and are in the final of the Copa del Rey.

Rivaldo once played for FC Barcelona himself. From 1997 to 2002 he wore the Blaugrana stripes. He won the Primera Division with Barça and was individually awarded the world footballer title.
