August 5, 2021 was the day that Barcelona's history changed, they had to communicate the painful departure of Lionel Messi, the club's top figure. After 20 years he had to leave behind not only the institution, but also the city where he had deeply rooted himself. The Rosario had everything arranged by word of mouth with Joan Laporta to continue his career in the culé team beyond having had to make a reduction in his salary.

Leo arrived from his holidays, in 2021, from Ibiza with the enthusiasm to sign his new contract, but when he returned to the Camp Nou, he was faced with the surprising news that he would not continue at the 'blaugrana'. Laporta did not keep his word, announcing that "the contract cannot be formalized due to economic and structural obstacles." At that time, the Argentine star had accepted a reduction of 50 percent, compared to the previous contract.

More than known is the rest of the story, Messi went to PSG, leaving behind the best years of the 'Blaugrana'. Now after a few days of vacation in Barcelona, having dined with his former teammates Busquets and Jordi Alba, it has become official that the club made him an offer. From Cadena Ser they confirm that the player accepted the proposal for a greatly reduced salary, Barça can afford it and it falls within the budget approved by the Financial Fair Play.
