Barcelona, Bartomeu is certain:"Messi will finish his career with us"

Despite the recent speculation, Josep Maria Bartomeu is certain that Messi will extend his contract with Barcelona. The Argentine's current deal expires in June of 2018, and he has been linked to Manchester City where he would be reunited with Guardiola as well as a sentimental return to Newell's Old Boys, the team that launched him in 1995. But while attending the event to introduce the new sponsor Rakuten, Barcelona's president reassured the club's fans:"I'm convinced he'll end his career with us. He's the player that lead us to success in recent years, he'll stay. We just have to establish a timeline to start negotiation"
