Lionel Messi will re-sign with Barcelona after Joan Laporta took over the club’s presidency, according to Rivaldo.
The Argentine will be a free agent this summer, which has seen him linked with PSG and Manchester City.
Rivaldo told Betfair: “Barcelona are massively improving in the last few weeks capitalising on Messi’s superb form and the election of a new president.
“Messi looks much more connected and happier since Laporta’s arrival – a president he knows well.
“For that reason, I’m starting to believe more and more that Messi might reach an agreement with the new board and sign a new contract to stay at the club for a few more years.
“Messi had a confidence boost with the new president election – someone he has a good connection with – raising the chances of him considering to stay for a bit longer.”
