Barcelona forward Lionel Messi said he had moved closer to his "dream" of "finishing my career at home" after signing a new contract, with the buyout clause raised to 700m euros

good move by Barcelona board renewing Messi contract because right now he is the only one that can lead the team to success after Neymar leaving the club and Suarez absence this season they can not afford let him leave in summer for free to Man City also they got the numbers right for him as the contract run down to 2021 when he is 34 years old and it's not attractive to sign players at that age for bigger wages I think with this move they could save the money they are willing to spend on Coutinho because with his recent performance he is not worthy quarter the price that Liverpool demanded and if I were in Liverpool shoes I would sell if they offered the same last bid they offered in summer with that money they could patch their horrible defense and they have Salah Mane and Firmino so no need for him at Liverpool.
