Leo Messi heads to Ibiza and delays signing of new Barça contract

Lionel Messi is immersed in what could be the most important month of June of his life. Or at least one of the most special. After beating Brazil with Argentine in Australia, where Jorge Sampaoli took charge of his first Albiceleste game, the Barcelona forward returned to the Catalan city. However, before signing his new contract with the club, he will spend some time with his family and Cesc Fabregas' family in Ibiza. 

The two players set of on Sunday for the island. The intention is to relax for a few days together. Messi knows the Chelsea midfielder well from their time together at Barça in the past. The two families will spend a few days in Ibiza. Meanwhile, Messi's father Jorge is currently in Barcelona closing the final details of his new deal, which will allow Messi to complete his dream of prolonging his stay at the club he says he wants to retire at. 

CONTRACT, BIRTHDAY, WEDDING

Barça and Messi plan to have the deal announced soon. It will be one of the most important contracts Messi has signed, but also one of the most important contracts in the history of Barcelona, who will assure the continuity of the greatest player to play the game for their new porject. Barça and Messi will continue to be linked until the Argentine is 35. 

A whole career dressed in the same colours. In theory, there could be an announcement before the Barca's star's birthday. He will turn 30 on June 24. He reaches that landmark in the best moment of his life, both on the pitch and off it. Not even ending the season with just the Copa del Rey on a collective level can take away from Messi's recent performances. And then, after signing his contract and turning 30, he has some of the most special days of his life around the corner. Messi will marry his partner, the mother of his two boys, Antonella Roccuzzo on June 30 in Rosario, competing a memorable month.
