But the Argentinian has found a smile in a Barça which has won 12 of its 13 La Liga matches in 2021. Above all, the arrival of Joan Laporta as the new president of the club, after a first term between 2003 and 2010, would go into the meaning of an extension for Messi.

The six-fold Ballon d'Or wanted to wait for the elections to advance on his future, and Laporta seemed to be the candidate with whom Messi has the most affinities.
