Lionel has extended his Barcelona contract to 2021.
As for the Argentine's release clause, under the new deal it will be set at 300 million euros. For the Blaugrana, this is a relief as they can now fully focus on their other summer business now that the star of the team has committed his future to the Camp Nou institution.
The 30-year-old, who is currently enjoying his honeymoon after last Friday's wedding, will put pen to paper on this new deal next week when he returns to Catalonia to join his teammates for the start of pre-season training.
