They are players who deserve that liberty, and we shouldn’t worry, as they are very committed to Barça. We want Messi to play for Barça through to 2021 and beyond. We are very calm.”Messi made his debut back in 2004 as he featured 719 times and scoring 614 goals where he establishing himself as one of the greatest players of all time but Argentina star netted 51 goals in just 50 appearances last season, he is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon,
