Reliable Fabrizio Romano confirms Messi-Barca problems, gives hopeful update

Tribuna.com

 were planning for the official announcement before 

 - all agreed since days, then today they had ‘new problems’ in the process to extend the contract. Issues are confirmed - Barça and 

 will continue their talks to resolve the situation," very reliable Fabrizio Romano tweets.

Messi tells Barca he doesn't want to sign new contract – credible sources

 about his reluctance to sign the new contract, as per RAC1.

The Argentine reportedly doesn't like the current squad and the whole project described by Joan Laporta.

The situation is 'irreversible', reliable Gerard Romero claims. The team captains are also informed about the issue – they know he's not going to accept Barca's offer.

The club, meanwhile, remain confident that the Argentine will sign a new contract, according to credible Toni Juanmarti.

Messi's incredibly tough contract situation explained by reporter who broke Neymar-to-PSG news

 is actually too far away from extending his Barcelona deal.

Marcelo Bechler, the reporter who first broke Neymar-to-PSG story, opens up on the situation.

1. Barcelona don't want to be the part of La Liga's €2.7bn deal as it means that the club would be 'stuck' for 40 years in exchange of €270m offered by La Liga.

2. If the club agree on La Liga's deal, it means that they no longer need to join the European Super League (they get the money without the need of joining it).

3. Without an agreement with La Liga, Barca would not be able to close accounts within the league's financial fair play and register Messi.

4. Thus, the club need to choose between the European Super League (they have certain commitments and can't simply abandon the project in one minute) and Leo Messi's contract extension.

5. Neither Barcelona nor Messi's entourage have reacted to the issue.

6. Until yesterday, the optimism regarding the matter was very high.

Spot on ,. Messi knows he's dealing with  a bunch of   losers and he's no loser .

William McCarthy

Go and borrow a brain cell , it's the loosers   who are draining the  club of crazy money  they're definitely  not earning , vent your anger on these wasters  .

How will Messi sign when teams are recruiting to better their defense and midfield we still recycling people like Busquets, Roberto, Alba, Pique, Lenglet as players in the squad. Any serious coach who knows his business knows this squad is not serious
