Superstar footballer,
Lionel Messi, who has never played for another club except Barcelona
is in line for a "life contract" at the Spanish football club.
According to Mundo Deportivo,
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu wants to tie down his
talisman, 32, for the rest of his football playing life.
This comes after the same
Barcelona president said the Spanish giants are not worried about Lionel
Messi’s future and the Argentinian star can leave the club at the end of the
season.
Bartomeu while speaking with
Barcelona’s in-house television channel said, “Leo Messi has a contract through
to the 2020-21 season, but the player is able to leave Barca before the final
season".
He added, “It’s the same case as
with the final contracts that Xavi, (Carles) Puyol and (Andres) Iniesta had.
They are players who deserve that liberty, and we shouldn’t worry, as they are
very committed to Barca. We want Messi to play for Barca through to 2021 and
beyond. We are very calm.”
In 2017, Messi who has been at
Barcelona since 2001 signed an extension in his contract and it is understood a
clause was included which allows him to leave at the end of any season.
Lionel Messi, who is regarded as
one the greatest footballers in the World, is Barcelona's record goalscorer.
