LIONEL Messi set tongues wagging with his cryptic ‘telephone’ celebration after scoring against Celta Vigo.
But reports in Spain claim the Barcelona icon was not sending a message to club bosses over his contract.
Messi is yet to agree a deal with the side – and it was even pointed out that he could theoretically leave for free in January.
But as the stalemate between Nou Camp chiefs and Messi’s father Jorge continues, the player himself has other things on his mind.
Notably scoring yet another goal in the 5-0 hammering of Barca’s La Liga opponents.
And, it turns out, sending a special message to his nephew, Augustin.
Spanish website Sport claim that was to whom Messi’s reaction was dedicated.
Turns out Augustin had been trying to contact his uncle all day without any success and Messi’s celebration was a way of saying hello.
Barcelona’s win returned them to the top of the table, one point ahead of Real Madrid. – DAILY MAIL SPORT.
