FC Barcelona ready to offer a three-year contract to Lionel Messi ...
This is one of his big goals at the end of the season.
Joan Laporta, elected at the head of FC Barcelona several weeks ago, is working to extend Lionel Messi, free on June 30.
According to
ESPN
revelations
, the Catalan leader is said to be ready to offer three years of contract - two fixed years and one optional year - to the Argentine so that he continues his career with the Blaugrana.
Aware that he will not be able to grant him the same emoluments that he currently receives, the Barcelona president is banking on this “long-term” proposal to “compensate” for this salary reduction and thus convince the 33-year-old striker.
But the Pulga would also like a competitive sports project.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain would remain on the lookout, in case the six-time Ballon d'Or does not extend with FCB.

... And count on "shielding" Ansu Fati
The Ansu Fati file is also delicate at FC Barcelona.
The 18-year-old all-round striker, who revealed himself to the world last season, is officially linked with the Catalan club until June 2022. A clause in his contract is said to say the Blaugrana could extend him for another two years.
But this option would not necessarily be valid according to the player's agency, reports
Mundo Deportivo
.
Thus, in order to avoid seeing their nugget leave to exercise its talents elsewhere, the Barcelona leaders would count on the "armor".
The Spanish daily says FCB would consider extending the Spaniard until June 2026. This season, the Masia-trained player scored 4 goals in 7 La Liga games before getting injured.
