Barcelona hero Chapi Ferrer: Koeman biggest ally in convincing Messi to stay

Barcelona hero Chapi Ferrer says Ronald Koeman will be key if Lionel Messi signs a new deal and stays.

Ferrer believes that Koeman is playing a vital role in keeping Messi at the club next season, too.

“I am definitely convinced that Messi is thinking that this is the right project, that he feels comfortable again,” he said.

“He has been carrying the weight of the team for 13 or 14 years and there was a moment where he needed some help. Ronald Koeman has given him that.

“You see Messi being important in the team but there is also now Pedri, Ousmane Dembele, Frenkie de Jong. A lot of players that Messi can count on.

“Now he feels that he is surrounded by a good bunch of young talent and a project that has convinced him to stay.”
