Clubless Messi is on holiday in Ibiza

The Argentine flew to Ibiza on Thursday for a new family vacation, as reported by the Catalan trade newspaper Mundo Deportivo and other Spanish media. At FC Barcelona, they are still confident that Messi will continue to hunt for goals next season at the Catalan club, where he was under contract for over 20 years, assured “Mundo Deportivo”. It is hoped that he will start training in Barcelona on Monday. Meanwhile, the Barça professionals around defensive veteran Gerard Piqué and Antoine Griezmann are preparing for the season without Messi in Donaueschingen in the Baden-Württemberg province. Club boss Joan Laporta remains in Barcelona and will follow the preparatory games on Saturday at VfB Stuttgart and on Wednesday at RB Salzburg from afar in order to personally take care of the final details of the new contract for Messi, wrote “Mundo Deportivo”. According to Spanish media reports, Messi and the club reached an agreement in principles in mid-July. They wanted to sign a five-year contract and the 34-year-old would waive 50 percent of his previous salary so that the club could meet the requirements of the Spanish professional league, it was said. After his first major title win with the Argentine national team, the triumph at the Copa América in Brazil, Messi rested with his wife Antonella and his three little boys Thiago, Mateo and Ciro in his hometown Rosario, in Miami in the US state of Florida and also in the Dominican Republic. He only landed back in Barcelona on Wednesday.
