The Catalan businessman is positive that the Argentine can be kept at the club and help usher in a new era of success
Barcelona's new era without Lionel Messi does not need to begin immediately but a clear plan must be laid out for life after the Argentine great, says presidential candidate Victor Font.
Messi will forever be a legend at Camp Nou given his sensational career that has seen him become both Barca and La Liga's all-time leading goalscorer.
But the 33-year-old was part of a well-documented transfer saga in the close season, in part due to a fractious relationship with departing president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
