Barcelona are willing to offer Lionel Messi fresh terms but are waiting for his approval.

The Argentine forward’s current contract is up for expire in 2021 but the Catalan giants are ready to extend his association beyond the current deal. Messi has been very pivotal for Barcelona and securing his service for a long time would be the priority things for the club hierarchy.

Messi could sign on a lifetime contract like former Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta. The veteran Spaniard chose to move to Japan but the 31 year old is likely to spend his rest of the career at the club.

The forward who has been at the club since his childhood days is approaching the twilight of his career but hasn’t slowed down a bit. Messi is currently leading the La Liga scoring chart with 21 goals in the Spanish top flight.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists the club is always ready to extend his stay. “Messi’s contract is up in two years but, given how he’s playing, we will have him for many more years.

“Leo’s intelligent, he knows how to measure things. If he feels good, he will tell us. When he decides, we will renew his deal.”
