Forward of “Barcelona” Lionel Messi will not renew its current contract with the Catalan club, according to the newspaper Marca.

The report said that the player has taken this decision even in the summer, while on vacation.

The Argentine has revealed his intention to the President of “Barcelona” Josep Bartomeu who in turn asked Messi more time to consider the contract extension.

It is said that most parties had no contact on this topic. This does not exclude the possibility that the 29-year-old striker could leave the team before the expiry of the existing contract (until 2018).

Note that the option of redemption of the player is 250 million euros.
