Barcelona President breaks silence on ongoing contract negotiations with Messi

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has just told Deportes Cuatro that “Everything is progressing properly” regarding the contract negotiation with Lionel Messi.

Messi's contract extension saga have stalled for some time leading to rumours linking him away from Barca.

Last year, Messi requested to be sold following irreconcilable differences with the club administration then.

Things are better now and Laporta is confident he can get the Barca captain to extend his current deal.
