Considering his relationship with Bartomeu, it’s hard to believe that Messi will stay if someone from the old board is elected as president.
- Whether Leo Messi continues at Barcelona or leaves for free next summer will have a lot to do with who wins the presidential elections planned for January, ESPN’s reputable Moises Llorens and Samuel Marsden report.
- The elected president will have to convince the Argentine that the new sporting project will bring the club success.
- Candidates Victor Font and Jordi Farre have both said that, if elected, their first goal will be to offer Messi a new contract.
- The registered presidential candidates are Victor Font, Lluis Fernandez, Jordi Farre, Agusti Benedito, Toni Freixa and Xavi Vilajoana while former boss Joan Laporta hasn’t yet officially confirmed his intentions.
