Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez has urged the club to move swiftly to renew Lionel Messi’s contract. Xavi said the Catalan club very much needs Messi just as he needs the club. We agree, there are not many clubs that will sack a director for making uncomplimentary remarks about their star player. Even if it takes selling the Nou Camp, we guess Barcelona will do everything it takes to tie Messi down to a new contract.
“I am convinced Messi will sign a new deal. Barcelona need Messi, but Messi also needs Barcelona,” Xavi said.
“He looks happy to me, more mature and calm than ever before.
“I cannot see him changing clubs, but we have to act swiftly.
“It would be a historical mistake for Barcelona not to renew Messi’s contract.
“Leo is the best player in history. His importance will become even more clear once he retires.”
The Argentine’s existing contract is due to expire at the end of the 2017-18 campaign and no agreement over a renewal has yet been reached.
