Messi is yet to put pen to paper on his new renewal deal, despite the club announcing in early July that both parties had agreed on a contract extension. Back then, the official statement suggested Messi would sign his new deal before the start of the new season.
With only 10 months left on his current deal at this stage, clubs could approach him in January to speak about a free deal at the end of the season.
However, Barcelona director Albert Soler has insisted that the club’s fans don’t need to worry about Messi leaving on a free as his signature is just a formality.
“There is absolutely no problem where Messi is concerned,” Soler said in a press conference on Saturday, as quoted by The Sun.
“There is no problem, I insist, it will happen soon. It depends on the agendas, from here I want to send a message of tranquility to the Barcelona members. Please be calm.”
