DBasia.news – The future of Lionel Messi is still one of the hottest topics discussed ahead of the opening of the summer transfer market. Barcelona continues to try to extend the megastar’s contract.
Messi’s contract with Barcelona will expire on June 30th. That means the Blaugrana has one month more to persuade La Pulga.
Barcelona officials and representatives of Messi have held serious talks to discuss this issue. However, the signing of the new contract has not been announced.
According to the Goal report, negotiations for Messi’s contract extension are still in place. Barcelona apparently has not made an official offer so far.
This is not a sign that Barcelona is not serious about keeping Messi. However, El Barca could only move after the club’s financial strength audit was completed.
From the results of the audit, Barcelona could only determine the value of the contract they were able to pay Messi. So until now, both parties are still waiting.
Positive Signal
Even so, Messi gave a positive signal to Barcelona. The Argentine national player is verbally willing to extend his contract.
But he wants the club to provide a guarantee to support him by landing a number of new stars. Messi realizes that it is difficult to restore Barcelona’s glory without the support of qualified teammates.
Honestly, Messi’s request could create new problems. With financial conditions like now, it is difficult for Barcelona to fulfill this request.
