A journalist specializing in FC Barcelona revealed on Saturday the decision of Argentine star Lionel Messi regarding his career with the Catalan club. Journalist Ashraf Ben Ayad stated that Lionel Messi has decided to continue playing with Barcelona. This contradicts all the news linking Messi to a potential transfer and a new adventure, following another disappointing season for Barcelona both domestically and internationally. Barcelona has initiated discussions with Messi to renew his contract, after the Argentine player made headlines in the summer of 2020 when he requested to leave the team. It seems that Messi will remain with the Catalan club for additional seasons, with a new contract that may be disclosed in the coming days.
