Only the signature is missing: Messi will renew at Barcelona

Lionel Messi has reached an agreement with Barcelona and only needs to put pen to paper to sign a new two-year deal at the Camp Nou.

The Argentine's future had been in doubt, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the month, but Azulgrana supporters can now breathe a sigh of relief, it would seem.

According to Cadena COPE's Miguel Rico, only the finest of details are to be settled and the Barcelona captain will renew his contract at the club.

Having tried his utmost to leave the Camp Nou at the beginning of the 2020/21 season due to his relationship with then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu, Messi now appears to have found happiness since Joan Laporta's arrival as president.

The club's signing of Sergio Aguero, a close friend and international teammate of Messi's, has also helped him to finalise his decision.
