An agreement between Lionel Messi and Barcelona was reached in principle three weeks ago and will be formalized in the near future, according to the Football Espana website.

Messi will return to Barcelona this week and the Blaugrana can breathe a sigh of relief after this has finally been achieved.

This deal also shows the success of new Barcelona president Joan Laporta who promised Lionel Messi would stay with the club.

La Pulga's father and agent, Jorge Messi, will be in Barcelona this weekend to finalize a deal between the two parties.

Lionel Messi will join the Barcelona squad on Sunday for the Joan Gamper Trophy against Juventus.
