Lionel Messi 'p***ed off' with Barcelona contract negotiations

Lionel Messi is "p***ed off" over the state of Barcelona's team building, it has been claimed.

Amid his new contract talks stalling, it's emerged Messi is prepared to run down his current deal and leave in 2018.

Okdiario pundit Eduardo Inda revealed: "Messi is starting to get p***ed off and has said that if they do not accede to his requests, as has been done with other players below his level, he has said that he is going to China in 2018 free with a €100 million contract."

Messi has made three demands - which Barca are yet to meet: he wants to know Luis Enrique's replacement, the players who will be sold as part of a clearout and the club's summer shopping list.

Barca remain hopeful of announcing Messi's new contract agreement before the end of the season.
