The father and agent of Lionel Messi is in Barcelona this week.
Sport says he landed on Wednesday in Barcelona with the objective of meeting president Josep Maria Bartomeu in the coming days.
The presence of the Argentine crack's father in the Catalan capital shows that contract talks are imminent, with his deal set to end in 2018.
Until now first contact had been made by telephone between Bartomeu and Jorge. A meeting is set to take place before the Christmas break, with Messi's deal high on Barcelona's agenda.
Barcelona want Messi to follow Andres Iniesta in being a one club man. However economic giants like PSG have not given up on trying to sign the forward.
