As we’re led to believe for now, Barcelona star Lionel Messi will be out of contract at the end of the season as his current deal expires in the summer.
It will be a concerning time for Barcelona supporters until he officially puts pen to paper and it’s confirmed by the club that he has indeed committed to the Calatan giants on a new long-term deal.
As of yet, that hasn’t publicly happened, and so having the 30-year-old edge ever closer to becoming a free agent with just seven months on his contract remaining would have some fans rattled.
However, they may not need to panic as La Liga president Javier Tebas is quoted by The Sun as insisting that Messi’s new contract has already been registered w
ith the governing body and so ultimately, the only thing left to wait for is for Barca to make it publicly official with a press conference.
