Barcelona president Joan Laporta is confident Lionel Messi will stay at the Nou Camp beyond his current deal after revealing talks of extending his contract are 'progressing adequately'.
The Argentine legend's contract is set to expire in the summer, and Messi has not yet committed his future to Barcelona with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City interested.
However, Laporta confirmed that he is satisfied that negotiations are moving forward and remains optimistic that the 33-year-old will put pen to paper on a new deal.
'Everything [that has to do with Messi's renewal] is progressing adequately,' Laporta told LaSexta's show 'Jugones' on Friday.
