Barcelona candidate Laporta: We want Messi and Fati playing together

Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta insists money won't be the problem in convincing Leo Messi to stay.

The Argentine comes off contract in June.

Laporta said, "I am lucky to meet him, of mutual appreciation and he has always told me that everything I have said has been fulfilled.

"We will make a competitive offer. Leo wants to win again."

On superkid Ansu Fati, Laporta says the youngster must stay.

He added: "He is a marvel of a player. May he come back strong and be a regular. Ansu's injury has recovered (Ousmane) Dembélé and helps Leo not receive so much pressure."
