Barcelona's sporting director has sent a positive message over Leo Messi's contract renewal
Robert Fernandez, Barcelona's sporting director, has sent a positive message over Leo Messi's contract renewal. While Barcelona and the forward are preparing to negotiate, Fernandez said: "It's going well. I am very calm, of that you can be sure. I have [heard] a lot of comments, [there are] people who want to complicate things, but for a while we [have been] doing a job and we are very calm."
The sporting director, like the rest of the club, knows that Leo Messi's renewal will eventually take place. Josep Maria Bartomeu, the president, is in charge of the negotiation and he will give the deal to Messi's father. Bartomeu will also want to meet with Messi to explain in detail the new deal.
