The superstar has been at a deadlock with the club chiefs over the last year with his contract set to expire in June 2018.
Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo reports that Bartomeu has already spoken to Messi’s father Jorge – who also acts as his agent.
They claim that Messi is happy to sign a deal at the club.
Based on recent deals handed out to Neymar, Sergio Busquets and
Javier Mascherano, Messi is expected to command a salary of £35MILLION
annually – a massive £670,000-a-week.
Messi and the club have been at an impasse in recent months, with
former manager Pep Guardiola making the Argentinian his top target this
summer.
But Barca team-mate Neymar is “sure” Messi will be staying with the Catalan club.
Speaking after the extraordinary win over Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, Neymar said: “Leo will renew.
“That is for sure.”
