Brazil icon Rivaldo claims he is confident that Lionel Messi will sign a new contract with Barcelona following the appointment of Joan Laporta as president.
Messi stunned Barcelona last summer when he tried to push for an exit after becoming disillusioned with proceedings both on and off the pitch, but the Spaniards held firm.
The Argentine's future is still in doubt, with the likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain showing interest but he has started to re-discover his best form for Barca, who have enjoyed a surge in performances in recent times.
