The candidate for President of "Barcelona" prepares to rename the team's stadium © JumpStory

"Barcelona" presidential candidate Emilio Rousaud says he will hold a referendum to rename the stadium to "Camp Nou Leo Messi" if he wins the election on January 24th. "Despite the fact that Messi's contract ends at the end of this season, he is a current and at the same time a living football legend. Also, Lionel has a deep history with 'Barca', so I intend to propose a referendum to try to rename the stadium," said E. Rousaud. Lionel Messi will become a free agent next summer, and teams can try to attract him as early as January. The Argentine star announced in August that he wants to leave the Spanish club, which he joined in 2001. This season, L. Messi has already scored four goals in his last 11 matches."
