Luis Enrique gives the formula for renewing Lionel Messi's contract
The Barça boss was once again able to smartly avoid getting caught up in any controversy
Barcelona are embroiled in Lionel Messi's contract renewal, the absolute priority for anyone that has a little common sense at the club. Luis Enrique is one of them and he's convinced that everything will work out well, even through he understands that things must be treated with patience.
Asked in his press conference previewing Saturday's game against Las Palmas about Oscar Grau's comments, Luis Enrique was very smart. The journalist asked if you have to have common sense or do what is necessary to renew the Argentine star.
"To renew Leo Messi, you have to have a lot of tranquility," the coach responded.
In addition, the Asturian was also asked about Pere Gratacos' comments: “I’m not going to get into this game. I heard the quotes and he said that Messi is the best, that’s it.
“People try to get a story out of everything. I think the club is clear about Messi [and his contract renewal] and Messi is too. I don’t think we should try and dig hidden meanings out of quotes. That’s all I have to say.”
Finally, on the finances of the deal, he added: "The [terms] will be set by Messi and the club.”
