Barcelona presidential hopeful Victor Font has called for the immediate resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu so that Lionel Messi can be offered the “guarantees” that will prevent him from entering into transfer talks from January.
The Argentine superstar has stated in a world exclusive with Goal that he will be sticking around at Camp Nou for the 2020-21 campaign.
Plans to push for a move elsewhere have been shelved, with the six-time Ballon d’Or not prepared to open a legal battle with Barca when it comes to a €700 million (£624m/$823m) release clause in his contract.
