Lionel Messi To Pen Down New Contract by kendallwoods(m): 12:01pm On Jul 05, 2017 |
FC Barcelona and Leo Messi have agreed
on a contract renewal that will keep the
Argentinian at the Club until June 30th,
2021.
The deal will be signed in the coming
weeks, when Messi returns to the team
for pre-season training.
The Club is very happy with both the
renewal and the commitment of Messi,
the best player in history, who has played
his full professional career at Barça and
has led the team to an era of
extraordinary success, the likes of which
has never been seen in world football.
A lifetime as a blaugrana
The Argentinian star joined Barça back in
2000 as a 13-year-old, arriving from
Newell's Old Boys. After impressing
throughout the various youth categories,
he made his first team debut at just 16
years of age in a friendly against FC
Porto, before making his debut the
following season against Espanyol at 17.
Shortly after, he scored his first senior
goal with a clever lob against Albacete at
the Camp Nou.
The rest is history. Leo Messi has since
gone on to break just about every record
and has become the greatest player in
the world. Now, at 30 years of age,
Messi has completed 13 seasons with
the first team and, with his new deal, will
remain for a further four.
Titles, goals and records
Messi has racked up eight La Liga titles,
four Champions Leagues, five Copa del
Rey, seven Spanish Super Cups, three
European Super Cups and three Club
World Cups. Individually, he has won the
Ballon d’Or prize five times, more than
any other Player in the history of the
game, four Pichichi and four Golden
Shoes.
With Barça, the no.10 has scored 507
goals in 583 matches and is the club’s
record goalscorer, as well as La Liga’s
record goalscorer. But Leo Messi will not
stop there - the Argentinian is in one of
the best moments of his career and still
has a lot more left to give, which is
music to the ears of all Barça fans who
will get to continue marvelling at his
greatness for at least another four years. |
