‘January will show if Messi wants out or not’ – Barcelona presidential candidate Font expecting superstar to stay

One of those looking to succeed Josep Maria Bartomeu at Camp Nou is hoping that he will get the chance to work with a mercurial Argentine in 2021

The January transfer window of 2021 will offer the greatest indicator of whether Lionel Messi wants out of Barcelona, says Camp Nou presidential candidate Victor Font, with the expectation being that the superstar performer will be convinced to stay put.

As things stand, the six-time Ballon d’Or is entering the final 12 months of his current contract in Catalunya.

Messi is said to have shelved extension talks amid concerns regarding the leadership of Barca behind the scenes and struggles for consistency on the field.
