The creation of Lionel Messi's history at the "Barcelona" club will continue - Josep Bartomeu confirmed that there is a new contract with the Argentinean in the management's plans.
The highest-earning player in the world, L. Messi, still has a contract valid for slightly more than two years. The footballer signed it in November 2017.
Having scored 581 goals in 665 matches, L. Messi should continue to delight the Barcelona fans for a long time.
"Lionel will continue his career in our team," - "Marca" quoted the "Barcelona" president. - "He is a player of one club, our relationship is excellent, so he will stay here forever."
Asked about the future of Jordi Alba, who has repeatedly stated his desire to stay, J. Bartomeu said: "We intend to offer him a new five-year contract. We hope the negotiations will be successful."
It is still unclear in the "Barcelona" camp whether Ernesto Valverde will remain with the team after the season.
"I believe he will stay. This is only his second season with "Barcelona" and his goals are the highest. He trusts the players, and they trust him. Even if we don't win a trophy this season, we would still continue working with him," - said J. Bartomeu.
