Lionel Messi’s father continues to make headlines as speculation about his son’s future in Barcelona continues to swirl.
Deportes Cuatro, who yesterday managed to keep a few words with Messi Sr, has been enthusiastic about the latest news.
They say they have spoken exclusively with Jorge and have been told that Messi is considering fulfilling his contract at the Camp Nou.
However, it is also possible that they got a bit carried away by all the excitement:
Jorge Messi half murmured a ‘yes’ when they asked him if they are studying the option of staying at Barça one more season for @Four sports right now. Another day of conversations ahead

Jorge Messi met with Barcelona to talk on Wednesday, where it appears that little progress has been made, and both clubs are not willing to change positions.
Deportes Cuatro also reports that Barça was told that Messi has offers from Manchester City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, but his club is simply not interested.
That is why Messi is now thinking of spending a final season at Barcelona that would also allow him to be able to say goodbye to the club and the fans properly.
Messi reportedly wants to resolve his future “as soon as possible” so that he can play again, and the report states that “the next few hours are vital” to the outcome of this saga.
