Meanwhile, the Catalans are yet to extend Messi’s contract. But it seems like the Argentine will train with the rest of the players during the pre-season.

Barcelona, in the meantime, have to reduce their wage bill so that they will be able to register Lionel and the new signings for the 2021-22 campaign.

For now, Messi is still enjoying an extended vacation following his heroics at this summer’s Copa America, where he led Argentina to title victory.
