Messi: “I want to finish my career here”

Sandra Sarmiento / Anna Segura


Leo Messi was clearly very happy to have signed his contract extension on Friday and he believes that this is the culmination of a great season at the club.


It has to be the ambition of every player who starts out in the youth academy to play out his career at the club and with the signing of the new contract extension Leo Messi is on course to do just that. When his current contract runs out in 2016, Messi will be 29 years old, but, as he told www.fcbarcelona and Barça TV: “I want to finish my career here at Barcelona”.

Recognition

Just one of the boys

I'm a part of that and we'll go on to win even more”.
