Laport says right away: That's the sign that the Mess is in Barcelona.

The solution to Lionel Messes' future at Barcelona will be Joan Laporta's first problem after the club's president re-election for the second time.

Joan Laporta has been confirmed as Barcelona's new president and he has already spoken of the future of Lionel Messi at the club. Barcelona was involved in a serious battle to hold the Messiah last summer, with the Argentine Superstar making it clear that he was eager to leave.

Barcelona eventually convinced Messes to stay, but there has been an ongoing debate if his departure was postponed for only one year, Kosova Prees follows.

Much of Messi's complaints with Barcelona concerned former President Josep Bartholomew and spoke in December about the way 58-year-old tried to paint him as “the bad man”

But Barcelona is now heading in a new direction after Laporta won Barcelona's presidential election with a convincing result Sunday evening.

He won more than 54 per cent of the vote, with Victor Font registering only 30 per cent, while Tony Freixa had a little more than eight per cent.

Laporta was president of the club in Barcelona between 2003 and 2010, overseeing the Messi performance as a super star.

And Barcelona's newly appointed chief believes that seeing Messina give his vote in the election is a clear “ ” that wants to stay the Argentinean representative.

To see Lionel Messin coming to vote today, seeing him participate, this is very said,” Laporta said at a news conference.

“Twenty years ago he made his debut with the Barca youth team. ”

Seeing the best player in the world coming out today to vote is a clear sign of what we continue to say. Leo loves Barca.

The best player in the world loves Barca and I hope that this is a sign that he will stay in Barcelona, which is what we all want. ”, Laporta stressed.
