Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has offered fans hope
that Lionel Messi will extend his stay at the club.
Messi’s current contract with the LaLiga side is set to
expire this summer.
“The Messi issue is going well, but it’s not done,’ he said.
“Messi wants Barcelona very much. We are doing everything
possible within our means,” Laporta told a press conference on Friday.
Laporta also addressed rumours he was looking to bring Pep
Guardiola back as manager, with Ronald Koeman’s future at the Nou Camp
uncertain.
Koeman was only able to win the Copa del Rey this season,
but finished third in LaLiga and was eliminated from the Champions League in
the round of 16.
When asked directly about the prospect of Guardiola
returning to the club, Laporta said: “The only thing in my head is I hope he
wins the Champions League.
“After winning it with us it would be amazing if he wins
with Manchester City.”
