Messi rejects new Barcelona deal

According to 'As', Barcelona have offered their main man between 30 and 35 euros a year. However, this figure seems to be insufficient for Messi.

The Barcelona number '10' has a current deal that ties him to the club until June 2018, so there is still enough time to negotiate.

The Catalan club is not worried, despite Messi's initial refusal to sign the new deal, they will continue to work in order to renew the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Writing up a new contract is a priority for the club, and an agreement with the Argentine could be reached in 'the next few weeks'.

We shall see what happens with Messi, as player and club are prepared to continue negotiations...
