IN THE LEAST surprising transfer news of the summer, Lionel Messi has committed his future to Barcelona.
The Argentinian star, who first joined the club in 2000 as a 13-year old, has agreed a contract extension that will keep him at Barcelona until 2021.
There had been some speculation earlier this year that Messi, who made his first team debut in a friendly against Porto at the age of 16, could leave the Catalan giants, but that has been put to bed today by the club.
The 30-year old will sign the contract extension when he returns to Barcelona for pre-season training later this month.
