Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has agreed a contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2021.

The 30-year-old, who joined Barca aged 13, will sign the deal when he returns to training from pre-season.

"The club is very happy with the renewal and commitment of Messi, the best player in history," said the La Liga club.

Messi will earn 500,000 euros per week with his release clause set at a 300m euro (£263m) buy-out clause.


The Argentina forward has scored a club-record 507 goals in 583 matches since his competitive debut in 2004.
