JAKARTA - Although the club continues to dialogue with Jorge Messi, Lionel Messi's father and agent, no official offer has been made for a contract extension. Messi's contract at Camp Nou expires at the end of June meaning he will be a free agent in just over a week. The two have yet to agree on a contract.

Although Barcelona is optimistic about Messi's contract extension, no new deal is imminent. Basically, the official proposal continues to be discussed, but Barcelona has not made an official offer to Messi, as reported by Antara.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and his father Jorge Messi are also continuing to negotiate a new deal, while Messi is focusing on Copa America with Argentina.

Lionel Messi joined Barcelona in the 2004-2005 season and set the record for the youngest player to score in La Liga. Previously he strengthened Newell's Old Boys.

The 33-year-old's priority is not really money, but Barcelona's guarantee of building a more competitive team on the pitch as his career enters its twilight years. Barca won the Copa del Rey last season, but missed out on both the Champions League and La Liga.

Despite Barcelona's disappointing season, Lionel Messi remains La Liga's top scorer with 30 goals from 35 appearances which is seven more than Gerard Moreno. Citing goal.com, he also scored five goals in the Champions League and three goals in the Copa del Rey.
