Leo Messi to extend Barcelona contract until 2023
Barcelona captain Leo Messi is set to extend his contract at Camp Nou after some wrangling, raising the likelihood he will retire at the LaLiga club.
Leo Messi is reportedly set to re-sign with Barcelona after a seemingly endless wrangle with the Camp Nou board. Messi reportedly has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave at the end of the season for free but the Argentina captain has apparently agreed a deal to extend his stay at Camp Nou to 2023.
Messi, 32, has spent his entire professional career at Barcelona – and he may yet end up a one-club player, unless he returns to Newell's for a long-mooted swansong with his boyhood club.
