Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has revealed a new deal is in the offering for the Spanish club's star performer Lionel Messi.
This, despite the Argentina international still having nearly four years left on his current contract at the Nou Camp.
Messi shattered all sorts of records last season after bagging a phenomenal 73 goals in all competitions for the Blaugrana, and he has already found the back of the net 10 times this term.
Rosell feels the Catalan giants have a responsibility to look after the 25-year-old forward's interests, although he admits talk shave yet to be scheduled.
"It finishes in 2016, but it would be irresponsible to not improve his contract," Rosell told Catalunya Radio .
"You have to think about such things. Right now there is nothing scheduled, but this is a machine that is constantly in motion and things can change at any moment."
He added: "The coaching staff think about next Sunday, we look further down the line and take the more distant future into consideration. Work has to start now on the contract that will take effect from 2016." source:guinnessvip
