"Barcelona" fans will receive happy news in the coming weeks. "Goal" reports that team leader Lionel Messi, who will celebrate his wedding in his homeland this week, has decided to tie his future to the Catalan team for a long time. The 30-year-old forward, who returned to "Barcelona" in July, will put his signature on a new contract, which will be valid until the end of the 2020/2021 season. There will also be an option to extend the contract for another year. It is said that only a couple of small details need to be agreed upon, which will not be a hindrance to successful negotiations. Having won 30 trophies in 13 seasons with "Barcelona", Messi has already scored 507 goals - such impressive numbers allowed him to negotiate an impressive contract, which will guarantee him 22 million euros (after taxes) per season. This sum will make L.Messi the highest-paid player on the planet.
