Lionel Messi has received with "huge satisfaction" the news, published exclusively in SPORT, that Barcelona will imminently offer him a new contract. SPORT has learned from sources close to the Barça star that he's "very excited" about the club's proposal, which will arrive before the end of January.
The new terms will link Messi to FC Barcelona until the end of his sporting career and, according to the club, will make him the world's best paid player according to his status in the game. The club feel it must be an offer which satisifies Messi's aspirations.
Leo Messi is not only interested in a longer, better paid deal, but one of the keys to him staying is the sporting project laid out for the coming years. The Argentine international puts being happy and winning titles above any economic offer, so Barça must also convince him to sign in that regard.
