The star that Barcelona will have to kick out to be able to pay Lionel Messi his salary

As is well known, from Barcelona they are looking for the way in which the best player in history, Lionel Messi, returns to the club and for this they are willing to make whatever efforts are necessary. From La Liga they asked him that to carry out this return they should greatly reduce the salary mass, as well as get rid of some players so that an amount close to 200 million euros enters.

The forced decision of having to part with some players led to a conversation between Xavi Hernández and Joan Laporta to agree on who would be the players who will not continue next season. In this way, the Catalan coach has already taken action on the matter and defined one of the names for him to leave. A few days ago it was learned that there are two players who did not accept the request for a reduction in salary and that is where they want to start cutting expenses.

The players who refused to lower their salary are defender Andreas Christensen and midfielder Frank Kessie. Although there is talk that Xavi has already hired another defender and the position is filled with Kounde and Ronald Araújo, he wants to retain the Dane. According to the journalist, Ferrán Correa, the Ivorian is the one targeted to leave. He has a good poster to be offered in Italy. It is expected that a good sum of money will come in for Kessie, a player who arrived with the pass in his possession and did not mean an expense hiring him last year.

The player Xavi dreams of to accompany Messi

The departure of Frank Kessie leaves the possibility of occupying a position in the midfield for Barcelona. Of course, for Messi to arrive, cuts are being made, but that is not why the team should lose hierarchy in the squad. So Xavi Hernández's dream, to accompany him in setting up the game, would be the German, İlkay Gündoğan. The creative midfielder is the captain of Manchester City and a few days ago he confessed to Diario As that he feels very well at the citizen. It seems difficult, but it is not impossible.
