Leo Messi has entered the final stretch of his contract with FC Barcelona, ​​but he would have already devised a plan to decide what suits him best for the future

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The future of Lionel Messi is one of the subjects that more concern (and occupies) to Joan Laporta and his directive of the FC Barcelona. The Argentinian has not renewed his agreement, that wins in the summer of this year, and in Can Barça concerns that it still was latent the intention that had to leave , does so alone some months. However, I Read it has not changed his speech and will expect to the end of course to decide if it will continue or no in the team of his life.

Messi does not want distractions in this point of the season. Already in front of the Getafe showed that it is totally focused in raising now the title of LaLiga and all what can distract him, does not have space in his head for now. In this sense, the plan of the Argentinian is very clear: it will expect until after the end of the domestic competition, will listen what the club can offer him and will see if the 'new Barça' convinces him or no to decide, finally, if it will sign an extension of his agreement or will change of airs and will look for a new sportive challenge far of the City Condal.

In the Barça already have transmitted him that will do all the possible to retain him in the club, that is not something simple, considering the delicate financial situation of the club and the figures of the last agreement of the Argentinian. Of course, hopened a significant reduction of his annual wage, but would continue being a mount important for the culés and could ocasionar an effect dominated and force to the Catalans to undo of other players for 'pay' the index card of Messi.

Nevertheless, Joan Laporta communicated it to him and, although there is not offer for the moment, because the maximum mandator expects to have the results of the last economic audit of the club, will do the impossible to offer him an agreement that was attractive for the Argentinian. In addition to the figures, that play a paper importantísimo, Leo Messi will value the sportive project to future that Laporta have between hands, because yes, is ilusionado, believes in the doublet and is in his best moment, but the Barça already showed in this season that is not to the level of the Champions League and, really, that is the big aim of 'The Flea'.

It will be key, in this sense, that arrive important players that achieve 'promote' to the Barça, beside Messi, to the European sky. To the blaugrana has been missing them this extra mile to stand out in the nights of Champions and is vital to achieve footballers that can be to the height. 'Mark', in fact, aims that, although the one of Rosario does not interfere in the subject of signings or decisions of the club, would see with very good eyes the return of Neymar Jr. Or the arrival of the 'Kun' Agüero. With the forward of the PSG is very complicated, since it would be near to sign his renewal with the Parisian group, but with his compatriot the possibilities are real and Laporta would be working in this.

The Barça has to expect

In the offices of the Camp Nou are conscious that, do what do, the last word will have it Messi, but equally are impatient with his decision since it will affect directly to the structure of the club if it leaves , by the importance that has the Argentinian for the Barcelona entity, in the sportive and to level of mark, remembering that it has been he the one who has converted to the culés in a global mark.

The good news, however, is that the relation between Leo, his father and Laporta is very good and can be key to board negotiations. For the moment, they have not produced formally but they could take place in the weeks to come. Messi, after all what has happened in the last years (his attempt fallido of exit, the relation with Bartomeu, the exit of Suárez, the leak of his agreement, between other so many things) is wary, but has all the possibilities to renew.
