Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font insists Lionel Messi can be persuaded to stay at the club if presented with a 'competitive project.'
Messi, who has been at Barca for the entirety of his professional career, looks set to leave at the end of the season upon the expiration of his contract.
The Argentine tried to leave in the summer but eventually opted to stay for another year - yet with Manchester City firmly interested, Font believes it is possible to convince the 33-year-old to stay put for the rest of his career.
