Messi yet to agree terms with Barcelona over new deal

Lionel Messi is yet to agree terms with Barcelona over a new contract - with his current deal due to expire next week.

Sport says Messi has still not reached an agreement to renew his contract with FC Barcelona, according to sources close to the player.

On Tuesday evening, reports appeared suggesting that Messi had told president Joan Laporta 'yes' to his contract renewal offer.

But the player's camp assure that for the moment there's no agreement and no definitive decision on Barça's offer. In this sense, they explain that there are still issues to be defined and that they must be reflected in an official offer when all parties are in agreement.

Therefore, nothing is yet closed with regards to Messi's future at Barça. The club, for their part, have no plans to comment on any reports until everything is official.
