“We want Leo to stay and he wants to stay in the club. Everything is going well so far, “Laporta told Onda Cero radio station.
Messi has been in Barcelona for 13 years and, after moving to the A-team in 2004, played 778 matches and scored 672 goals. He is sovereignly the best shooter in club history. However, its possible continuation at Camp Nou is complicated not only by the club’s financial possibilities, but also by the rules of the Spanish league’s fair financial play.
While the previous contract from 2017 brought the 33-year-old midfielder 138 million euros per season, now everything depends on a compromise between both parties. “We still have to deal with the issue of financial fair play. We are looking for the best solution for both parties, “said Laporta.
The 59-year-old official was re-elected president in March this year and immediately promised to do everything in his power to keep Messi in Barcelona.
