Barcelona technical secretary, Robert Fernandez, has assured it is only a matter of time before Lionel Messi signs a new contract with the club.
Messi agreed a new deal until 2021 last month, but the Argentina captain is yet to officially put pen to paper.
It has raised doubts over the 30-year-old’s future at the Camp Nou, especially with Neymar leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record transfer.
But Fernandez allayed those fears following their 2-0 win over Real Betis in La Liga on Sunday.
“The agreement with Messi is total,” Fernandez told beIN Sports.
“We are just looking for the right time for the signature.”
