The news is a breath of fresh air for Barcelona fans who have been messing around with Messi’s contract drama in recent months. However, all this drama has actually been going on since the 2020 summer transfer market.

Messi wanted to leave Barcelona at that time. However, Barcelona are reluctant to let go of the Argentine player who has been a mainstay for more than the last decade.

Messi did not want to fight with Barcelona so chose to live his last year at Camp Nou. The 34-year-old player continues to appear professional in the midst of uncertainty about his future.

Messi even led Barcelona to win the 2020-2021 Copa del Rey. Unfortunately, Barcelona and Messi failed in the Spanish League and Champions League.

After the 2020-2021 season ended, news about Messi’s contract was heating up again. Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has repeatedly stated that Messi’s contract negotiations went smoothly because the player wanted to stay at Camp Nou.

However, Barcelona failed to secure Messi’s signature by the deadline. Messi’s contract expired on June 30, so La Pulga -Messi’s nickname – is without a club at this time. Even so, Messi’s clubless status will change at the end of this month if reports Sports Diary come true.
