Speculations have been swirling around the future of FC Barcelona captain Lionel Messi ever since he told the club that he wanted to leave last summer. Now, for the first time in months, there are concrete steps that are being made to decide his fate. His father and de facto agent, Jorge Messi, is flying to Barcelona to finally sit down with the club to negotiate a contract renewal.
According to Football España, Jorge will be having an all-important meeting with newly-elected club president Joan Laporta on Monday. It may be remembered that no solid offer has been made by the club because they had been waiting for the elections to take place.
