Lionel Messi could play against Juventus in Joan Gamper Trophy

Lionel Messi will sign his new contract with FC Barcelona very soon, possibly today, and will be available to play against Juventus in the Joan Gamper Trophy match. That’s the latest news from Spain as La Liga is set to accept a big cash injection from an investment company in exchange for a stake in the league.

The Gamper Trophy, a friendly cup intended to be the Catalans’ curtain raiser for the season, is getting hyped as another meeting between two of the best footballers in history, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It will take place this Sunday.
