spanish league Wednesday, August 31, 2016 Barcelona, Luis Enrique agree to put off new contract talksMADRID — Barcelona and coach Luis Enrique have agreed to put off talks on a contract extension until early next year, club President Josep María Bartomeu said. Luis Enrique is in his third season in charge of Barça and recently said he would only consider his future at the end of the campaign when his current deal runs out. Barça is also planning to offer new deals to forwards Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, and midfielder Ivan Rakitic before the end of the year. “We will speak to Messi just as we will talk to Suárez and Rakitic,” Bartomeu said. Alcacer, who turned 23 last Tuesday, joins a Barcelona lineup featuring Messi, Suárez and Neymar.
