Since Josep María Bartomeu resign as FC Barcelona's president, things have been calmer between Lionel Messi and the club. But the financial crisis still exist.

Since Josep María Bartomeu resign as FC Barcelona's president, there has been some kind of peace between Lionel Messi and the club. That peace has been interrupted by the statements of former FC Barcelona's coach Quique Setién that had went Messi crazy. In addition, there's now a new ruling in Barcelona that bothers the Argentinian.

FC Barcelona's provisional president, Carles Tusquets, has met with the coach of the team, Ronald Koeman, and with Ramón Planes, the technical director of the club, to think about the future of the squad and the reinforcements the team will need for the second part of the season.

Koeman repeated that the team needs Memphis Depay and also added some more new names that the squad could use. Non-the-less, he received a bad news: FC Barcelona will only be able to buy players if first they can sell some of their current members. That's a hard situation since most of the players of the squad do not cost too much.

In addition, the youngest members of the team are the players which are playing better, like Ansu Fati, Frenkie De Jong, or Pedri. This means that if the want money to buy players, they should sell current starters. This will upset Messi even more, because he is not interested in the finance of the club but in winning titles. Will he leave?
