The Blaugrana president admits discussions have been held with a talismanic figure, with an Argentine star expected to see out his career at Camp Nou
Barcelona are hoping to see Lionel Messi commit to another contract at Camp Nou, with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu admitting to being “worried” about retirement talk surrounding an Argentine superstar.
A talismanic presence in Catalunya is already tied to terms through to 2021, but that agreement includes an exit clause which allows a six-time Ballon d’Or winner to walk away at the end of any given season.
