Lionel Messi is edging closer to agreeing a new contract with Barcelona.

The Argentine is a free agent and he has few days to finish his contract with the Catalan club after failing to extend his stay last season.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has hinted that “Barcelona are working on last details/clauses and preparing the official new contract proposal until June 2023 for Lionel Messi."

Messi earlier revealed that the transformation of Barcelona into a competitive force in Europe is what he seeks and not the finance. Barcelona has added compatriot, Sergio Aguero to the squad and Spaniard, Eric Garcia has also sealed a move from Manchester City to Spain on a free transfer.

Gini Wijnaldum could be the next player with a few additions to Ronald Koeman's squad and this per the tweet of Fabrizio is highly appreciated by the Argentine.

“Barça are ‘confident’ to complete the agreement after positive talks. Agüero ofc... but also Wijnaldum, new signings appreciated by Messi,” he tweeted on Wednesday.

Messi was strongly linked to PSG before Joan Laporta was reelected as the new president of Barcelona with almost a month left for his contract to end.
