“No decision will be made on Leo Messi’s contract before the new year. We are very happy and Leo’s very happy with us too. We will find the best solution together with Messi, we’re so happy and this is fantastic,” he said.

Messi has enjoyed a successful second season in France, and has already scored 12 goals and racked up 14 assists in just 19 games.

With the 35-year-old showing that he’s still at the top of his game, he has been linked with a move away from France.
