The forward put in an exchange demand in the mid year prior to deciding to stay. Meanwile, Messi’s contract expres the next summer.
Victor Font
The Barcelona Presidential elections is coming up in about two months from now, and Victor Font is confident to win, so he can help persuade the striker to remain. According to Font,
“What Messi needs in order to stay at the club is a competitive project. He wants to win – obviously the lack of a project in recent times has affected the way we compete and therefore I’m very much hoping that whenever the new president takes over, hopefully it will be us, we can convince him to stay.”
Font’s wish is for Messi to finish his career at FC Barcelona.
