Barcelona presidential candidate Jordi Farre told AFP on Tuesday he would work to make sure Lionel Messi stays at the Catalan giants if he is to be elected next month.

He said his priority is convincing Messi to stay despite his bid to leave in the close season and the fact he can begin negotiating a departure next summer in the new year.

In the statement he said,“I will not reveal any private conversations but we’re working on it. All Leo wants in the end is to stay at Barca, and I’m sure there will be no problem.

“I do not believe that we will have to part with our best players. Barca needs its best players. If we have the best players, we win titles and we bring in more revenue.” He added.
