year contract that extends his stay at the Catalan club to 2021. The
club has announced.
"The club is very happy with the renewal and commitment of Messi, the
best player in history," it said.
Lionel Messi joined Barcelona as a 13 year old in 2000, and since he
made is competitive debut four years later, he has gone on to become
the club's highest goalscorer with 507 goals in 583 matches.

who is the mother of his two children last weekend with a lavish
ceremony at his hometown of Rosario in Argentina.

of £263 million in it.

For the time being though, the maestro is currently enjoying his
honeymoon with is not so brand new wife. Its a case of happy married
life and happy new contract renewal.
