Author: Saad Ahmed

The FC Barcelona president has said that the talks to extend Leo Messi’s Barcelona contract are progressing well.

Laporta said that nothing had been agreed yet, but things are progressing in the right direction. He added that “Messi wants Barcelona, he loves the club.”

Barca fans have been waiting anxiously for Messi to sign an extension as his current deal expires on 30th June. He can leave the club as a free agent if no agreement is reached.

According to the sources, Barcelona are offering a new 2-year deal to Leo, which will keep him at the club till 2023. It is also believed that Barcelona wants to bring Messi back to Camp Nou in some administrative capacity once he decides to hang his boots.

The decision regarding Ronald Koeman’s future is yet unclear as Barcelona representatives are to meet the Dutchman next week to discuss his future.

Ronald Koeman’s agency were left disappointed after Joan Laporta’s statements today in his press conference. Koeman’s agency tweeted after the presser. The tweet read, ” Imagine: I want to marry you, but I have doubts. Give me two weeks to find a better partner… If I can’t find the right person, we will get married anyway!”.

Joan Laporta told Fabrizio Romano that “Next week we’re gonna announce new signings.”
