A man looking to take in a second spell as president of the Liga giants believes a superstar forward can be tied to fresh terms at Camp Nou
Joan Laporta is confident that Lionel Messi “can be convinced” to sign a new contract, with the Barcelona presidential candidate adamant that the Argentine “wants to stay”.
That was not the case during the summer of 2020, with the six-time Ballon d’Or winner pushing for the exits at Camp Nou.
He was prevented from walking out on the final year of his contract, with the 33-year-old revealing to Goal that he would be honouring that agreement.
