Messi new contract
You're referring to Lionel Messi's contract situation!
As of now, Lionel Messi's contract with Barcelona expires on June 30, 2021. There have been ongoing negotiations between Messi and Barcelona regarding a potential contract extension, but no agreement has been reached yet.
Here are some key updates:
- Contract talks stalled: In November 2020, Messi's father and agent, Jorge Messi, revealed that contract talks with Barcelona had stalled due to disagreements over the player's salary and other issues.
- New contract offer: In December 2020, Barcelona reportedly offered Messi a new contract worth €50 million per year, which would make him one of the highest-paid players in the world. However, Messi's camp has been seeking a higher salary and more control over his future.
- Free agent rumors: With his contract expiring, Messi has been linked to several top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Inter Milan. If he doesn't sign a new contract with Barcelona, he would become a free agent and could join another team.
- Barcelona's financial situation: Barcelona is facing significant financial challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the club's high wage bill. This has put pressure on the club to negotiate a more affordable contract with Messi.
- Messi's future uncertain: Despite being one of the greatest players in the world, Messi's future at Barcelona remains uncertain. He has been playing for the club since 2004 and has won numerous titles, including four Champions League trophies.
The situation is ongoing, and we'll have to wait and see what happens next. Will Messi sign a new contract with Barcelona, or will he move to another team? Only time will tell!
