Lionel Messi has reportedly agreed to a 50 per cent pay reduction to secure a new five-year contract with Barcelona.
The Argentine star will be 39 by the time this latest deal expires with reports in Spain saying everything is now agreed in principal.
Messi is officially a free agent after his last Nou Camp contract expired at the beginning of this month but is now set to commit to his one and only club for what could be the remainder of his playing career.
