The future decision is still pending for Lionel Messi: will he extend at FC Barcelona or will he move to another club? Joan Laporta, the Catalans’ presidential candidate, comments on the state of play.
Since Lionel Messi’s contract with FC Barcelona expires on June 30, 2021, the Argentine can decide for himself whether he will sign a new working paper at Barca or whether he would prefer a free transfer to another club. “It will not be easy to keep Messi,” said Joan Laporta in an interview with the Spanish sports newspaper Brand With. The Barca presidential contender added: “He has offers from clubs that are not short of money as they are supported by an entrepreneur or a state.”

Which clubs Laporta has addressed with this should be clear: Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, both of which are associated with Messi. Nonetheless, Laporta was confident and said: “Messi is comfortable in Barcelona. From what I know about Leo, I am convinced that he wants to stay.”
