After a well-deserved vacation in Miami and the Caribbean, after becoming the Copa América champion, Lionel Messi landed in Barcelona this Wednesday morning to continue his vacation in Europe and then he
will sign the long-awaited renewal
with the culé club.
The Argentine star
had been released on June 30
, while he was in Brazil playing the Copa América with the Argentine National Team.
After the consecration on July 7, Leo traveled with his family to the United States to enjoy his days off after a long season.
Finally, the day of his return to Europe arrived.
As reported by the sports newspaper Sport, on the 10th he
passed by his house in Castelldefels and then continued his trip
since he has a few more days of vacation until the weekend.

The first days of August, Leo will stamp his signature with the club
and then join the training sessions, where he will share the team with his friend and compatriot Sergio Kun Agüero, who is scheduled to appear next Monday.
In principle, the Rosario
agreed to reduce his salary by 50 percent
in order to fit the numbers within the financial fair play
and he
will sign
a five-season contract
which leads to the assumption that Messi would play until he was 39 years old.
The extension of the link has more to do with the financial fair play that the club must comply with in order not to be penalized by the Spanish League.
However, in principle, it would mark an unprecedented longevity for a world soccer megastar.
La Liga will start on Friday, August 13 with the match between Valencia and Getafe.
While
Barcelona will debut Sunday 15 against Real Sociedad
.
With practically the entire Blaugrana squad training under Ronald Koeman, the culé fans await the return of the king.

Assets in networks
During their vacations,
both Leo and his partner Antonella Roccuzzo were active in networks
where they showed part of their vacations with photos and videos.
Beyond rest and enjoyment, there was also time to train.
There were several stories uploaded to Instagram where the couple was seen doing gym work together.
This Monday, the captain of the Argentine National Team moved more than one by posting a memory for history on the social network: it was that video in the field of the mythical Maracanã, where he is seen sitting celebrating at a distance via video call with his wife and his sons, Mateo, Thiago and Ciro.
"What a nice moment", defined Leo.
This Wednesday morning, the Rosario star
followed in the footsteps of the Olympic team
and encouraged from a distance.
He uploaded to the Instagram story, the photo of a television where the image of the match was seen that finally those led by Fernando Batista tied against Spain and were not enough to qualify for the quarterfinals.
