The 33-year-old is in the final six months of his contract and club legend Xavi is believed to be the one to talk Messi out of leaving the club, according to Font.

“Before the summer, when there was the great frustration, he had always said that the most important condition for him is to have a winning and competitive project.
“We have a winning, competitive project, with people like Xavi. This relationship between Xavi and Messi exists, I believe that is one of the main reasons and guarantees that Messi will feel very comfortable with our project and we will have many options to continue.”
Font was asked whether Xavi has been discussing his plans with Messi, he added:
“I don't know what they're talking about, I know they're in contact because they have a relationship, but I don't know to what extent or the details of what they talk about.”
