Ex-Barca president confident Messi will sign new deal

Former Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, is confident Lionel Messi will sign a new deal.

The former Blaugrana president has expressed his belief that the Argentine will extend his contract which comes to an end next season, despite his unease with the current board.

“[Messi] will have no trouble renewing his contract,” he told Deportes Cuatro.

“If I were a player, I wouldn’t be happy either [with the board].”

Laporta went on to stress that Barcelona should try again to sign PSG star Neymar this summer.
