The worst news that Barcelona received about Messi, whom they want to sign at all costs

Lionel Messi came out to apologize for his trip to Saudi Arabia after PSG's last defeat, but nothing changed: the sanction remains (two weeks without playing, training and without receiving part of his salary) and he will not continue at the club once he end your contract. This opened the possibility of a return to Barcelona, although not everything is as simple as it seems.

Regardless of the wishes of Barça and Messi himself to join their paths again, the truth is that the economic situation of the Catalan team continues to be critical and, in order to sign the captain of the Argentine team, they will have to enter a large amount of money to comply with financial Fair Play.

Despite the optimism of the fans regarding the approval of the financial plan of FC Barcelona by La Liga, the Spanish journalist Alfredo Martínez warned: "The return is very complicated, nothing has been decided." Along the same lines, the culé board is already working on some starts such as those of Raphinha or Franck Kessié. They would not be the only ones, since elements such as Jordi Alba and Ansu Fati can say goodbye to the Blaugrana team.

If it is not Barça, where could Messi continue his career?

Since it was known that Leo would not continue in France, the rumors began to hit all the portals hard. However, Barcelona aside, the team with the advantage to win Messi is Manchester City, the club where he would meet his favorite coach, Pep Guardiola. Although he also has a tempting offer from Al-Hilal and his arrival in the MLS is not ruled out either.
