Lionel Messi and Barcelona ‘finally agree terms on a two-year contract extension until 2023’

Lionel Messi and Barcelona have reportedly agreed terms on a new contract which will keep the Argentina star at the club for another two years. The six-time Ballon d’Or winner’s future has been up in the air with his contract expiring in just two days’ time. However, it appears Messi and the Catalan giants have finally reached an agreement over a contract extension until June 2023, according to Fabrizio Romano, as reported by Marca. Messi’s future has been hanging in the balance ever since he told the club by fax of his desire to leave last summer. Barcelona find themselves cash-strapped as they try to cope with the financial issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic, although they have brought in some new faces already.
