Barcelona have commenced the process of immortalising their captain Lionel Messi after unveiling his statue at the club’s wax museum.
The 33-year-old has spent his entire senior career at the Nou Camp and could walk out of the team at the end of this season.
As it stands, it is unsure where the future of the six-time Ballon d’Or winner lies with Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain, and a few other clubs showing interest in him.
However, the Catalans are doing all they can to make him stay beyond next summer when his current deal expires.
As part of the plans to see him remain at the Spanish club, one of their presidential candidates has promised to name the iconic Camp Nou after Messi if he is elected president.
While they vow to bring quality players to the club in a bid to remain competitive across Europe having gone trophyless last season.
They lost the league to rivals Real Madrid while they were humiliated by Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
