Lionel Messi names his priority signing to ensure renewal at Barcelona

Messi names his priority signing for the summer in Barcelona.

On the 26th of May, Borussia Dortmund faced Bayern Munich at the Signal Iduna Park and the classic German “Der Klassiker” was considered as a potential title decider for the 2019/20 Bundesliga title. As the world tuned in to watch the two German greats face off against each other, the office at Barcelona kept a close look on Joshua Kimmich, who scored a similar goal like Lionel Messi against Real Betis.

The reports coming in from Spain state that the captain of Barcelona has been highly impressed by the performances of Joshua Kimmich over the last few seasons and that his addition at the Camp Nou would pave the way for a brighter future.

The nerves of steel under immense pressure that the young 25-year-old Bayern Munich footballer has shown for the past few seasons despite being fielded in several different positions such as a right-back or a defensive midfielder has caught the attention of several clubs, including Barcelona. Despite all the attention the German international receives, the versatile footballer has made it clear that he would not be leaving the Bavarian club anytime soon.

Lionel Messi still continues to hope that his once promised winning project by the board of Barcelona would be fulfilled soon before the Argentine would have to hang his boots up, as the player is soon to turn thirty-three next month and probably has another season or two at the Camp Nou.

The captain’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2021 and as every football fan in the world awaits for the renewal of the greatest ever footballer’s contract, according to the report from Spain it seems like Leo Messi will not renew his contract unless some top quality players are signed either this summer or next summer to build a winning squad that was once promised to the Argentine international.

The footballers that Lionel Messi wants at Barcelona in the next two seasons to build a sustainable strong squad for the future include the likes of Joshua Kimmich, Lautaro Martinez, and Nicolas Tagliafico as of now.

Realistically, Joshua Kimmich would not leave Bayern Munich in the next two seasons and the board at Barca should focus on signing Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Tagliafico in the next two seasons to ensure the renewal of their greatest ever player.
