Barcelona are expected to soon announce a new contract agreement with Lionel Messi.

The two parties have been in talks for some weeks about extending Messi's current deal, which is to expire in 2021.

Catalunya Radio reports negotiations are now "closer than ever" to reaching an agreement.

The deal will see Messi's contract extended to 2022, with the option for further two years.

The arrangement is expected to include a break clause, so allowing Messi to walk out on Barca at the end of each season.
