Lionel Messi was not released from Barcelona and has now decided to complete the contract, which expires next summer.
When the team reunited eight days ago, to undergo mandatory covid-19 tests, Messi was not present and has not been seen at Barcelona's training sessions since.
Today, the 33-year-old Argentine was back in service at the training facility Joan Gamper, his first meeting with the new coaching duo Ronald Koeman and Henrik Larsson.
