Days after seeing Athletico Madrid win the La Liga Title at their home pitch, Camp Nou. Barcelona has announced that star player Lionel Messi has signed a new and improved contract.

The Catalan club and their Argentine Superstar had reached an agreement over a deal after months of speculation they had hit an impasse.

Messi had said on Monday that he will be forced to consider his options if he no longer feels the "affection" the club he joined at a very young age.

The club released a statement on their official site saying: "FC Barcelona would like to announce that Leo Messi and the Club signed a revised contract this afternoon,".

"The signing took place in the presence of Leo Messi, his father Jorge Messi and the Club President Josep Maria Bartomeu, as well as the sporting vice-president Jordi Mestre and the Club CEO, Antoni Rossich.

"During the signing, which was made in the Presidential Box at the Camp Nou, Leo Messi repeatedly expressed his excitement about the new deal."
