"Barcelona" team president Josep Bartomeu predicts that the team's leader Lionel Messi will continue to play in Catalonia for a long time. The president is not afraid that Messi's contract with the famous Argentine will expire in 2021. "Of course, both sides will immediately want to extend their cooperation if Lionel feels strong and ambitious. Certainly, Messi will be the one to decide. He has earned the right to say when he no longer wants to play football. But as I said, the forward wants to finish his career within Barcelona. For the next 2-3 seasons, our leader will remain L. Messi. There is no doubt - he is still young and strong. And ambitious. So, he could play in Barcelona for two, three, four or five more seasons. I have no doubt about that," clarified J. Bartomeu.
