Leaked details of Lionel Messi ’s contract extension talks with Barcelona in 2020 have shown the player’s private jet requirements and a special request regarding close friend Luis Suarez.
The Argentine superstar was in talks over extending his stay at the Catalan club two years ago, prior to him attempting to walk out of the club in the same summer. He ultimately stayed put before leaving the following year to join Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year contract.
A year prior to his Camp Nou exit, Messi was in talks to put pen to paper on a new contract before unsuccessfully trying to force his exit from the club by submitting a burofax – a legal document common in Spain.
