Barcelona will offer Lionel Messi a new contract to keep him at the club until 2023, according to reports in Spain.

The Argentina international has just a year left on his current deal at Camp Nou, with no formal negotiations taking place yet to due to the coronavirus crisis.

A clause in his deal that would have meant he could walk away from Barca for free expired on June 10 and according to Mundo Deportivo, the club are now ready to offer fresh terms.

The contract will be set until 2023, but the winger will have the option to terminate the contract a year before then.

Barca are waiting for Messi’s father, Jorge, to return to Spain from Argentina so they can sit down for final talks.

Both parties want to prioritise the Catalan side’s push for the La Liga title and Champions League over any contract negotiations.

Signing a new deal will put cold water on any exit talks, with the winger previously being linked with a move to join his old boss Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Messi has scored in both of Barcelona’s games since Spain’s top tier returned last week.

His penalty against Leganes on Tuesday night took him to 21 La Liga goals this season and only one shy of hitting an astonishing 700 career goals for club and country.

The king of Barca

Nah,the god of soccer.

1 more goal to 700

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Nice one
Greatest of all time
I thought penaldo was far behind Lionel Messi




















Not until i watched Lionel Messi third goal against real betis
Then i realize i was hundred percent correct
And to all those pussy asss niggarrrs that keep saying Messi should leave Spanish league or rather leave Barcelona to show he is really good

As a real niggarrr. I keep on telling them what about they asked thier mother to leave thier father for another man and get pregnant for that man to show she is really fertile
Because how can a reasonable person be questioning the versatility of Lionel Messi when he dey obvious say messi don single handedly raped and fuckkked all clubs on planet earth before

They should just change their name from Barcelona to Messilona

It's not our business, all we wan is good football

As a Barca fan, i still continue to dread the day Messi will finally leave us...

Messi has been a part of my life for the past 16yrs... Damn!
I know say e go pain me wella, no be lie!

I just Dey pity barca, over reliance on one man. make this guy hang boot and watch how barca go crumble.

Barcelona is Messi.

Short man Messi...

That one no talk say make Napoli no deal with them.

good...have said it countless times, this GOAT deserves a life time contract and to be the highest paid in Europe, he is the only player currently to give you important goals and key assist when you need him the most, he have rescued barca countless times from hard matches and he is still waxing stronger and consistent for more than a decade...i dnt even think that barca av an option in giving him new contracts, the only issue should be the wage range because you just cant have any other player like him in your team and i am happy i really watched him and alive in this his generation because i dnt think we would have any other player to achieve what lionel did, simply because lionel av placed the bar too high and he is still increasing the height ( better wickedness) pls cr7 fans boys when i said records i mean not just GOALs bt also ASSISTS, INDIVIDUAL RECORDS, TROPHIES WON AND BALLON D OR....this young man is just a too influential to Barcelona that media now tag barca messidependent...would surely miss him wen he finally hangs his boot...SPAIN IS A COUNTRY, BARCELONA IS A CITY, CAMP NOU IS A TEMPLE AND MESSI IS ITS god..

Love you mesix

Which one is 2023 why not sign him till 2030

Messi should go elsewhere and test his potential

M

Bros try another club na

Yea GOAT like for Messi share for Ronaldo

He is too valuable

His later years will be xavi like
Midfield

His build up and play making ability currently is still mad

Something cr7 lacks

Lmaoo
That's the reason I no fit compare messi with ronaldo
Ronaldo is moving from one club to the other and making impressions but Messi just kuku buy seat for barca since
if messi can't keep making records with the same team,the same strategy and almost the same players he has been with for years then something is wrong with him

I love Messi and Ronaldo
But I respect Ronaldo more

Make hin kuku sign life contract naw

Good for him.....sad Ronaldo might retire this year

God bless Lionel messi and God bless Barcelona.

The official club of GOD and all the hosts of heaven is Fc Barcelona.

By the order of the Peaky blinders

Loyal guy with another contract renewal in 2 years as usual... .

Before you attack as usual... Compare loyalties like Giggs, Totti, Zanetti etc
