After all the rumors were spreading around, Benayad Achref, a journalist who's close to Messi, has confirmed that Messi decided to stay in Barcelona, with a month left in his contract.
The exact details of his new contract with Barcelona are not known, with rumors of a 10-year contract to keep him at the club beyond retirement, including a wage cut as well, but receiving long-term financial security as well.
With an over 20-year relationship with the club, it Messi's story with Barcelona won't end yet.
In other news, Messi's full interview with Olé has been released, and it can be seen here. There, he talks about his first games with Grandoli, a bit of his time at Newell's, the facemask he temporarily used at the Cadete, his GHD and its treatment, his switch from Rosario to Barcelona, and much more.
