The worst news that LaLiga gives Real Madrid regarding the signing of Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is closer than ever to join Barcelona.
The possibility of Lionel Messi's return to FC Barcelona as a free agent is gaining ground. Although the Catalan club must move to solve its financial problems, the president of La Liga -Javier Tebas- was optimistic and flexible with the chance to have the Argentine again in Spanish football.
“If Barcelona wants to sign Lionel Messi, his salary will be lower than in Paris Saint-Germain. His return is now conditional on the sale of players. I think that Barcelona will get a good amount from the sale of players this summer", Tebas assured in the last hours.
It should be remembered that the president of La Liga is a recognized fan of Real Madrid. However, despite his sympathy for 'The White House', he has shown himself willing to collaborate with FC Barcelona in order to close Messi's return. Now, the next step in view of this happening will be to approve the economic plan presented by the club.
Which players are the candidates to leave FC Barcelona?
As confirmed by Thebes, for Messi to return, some Barça footballers must leave to free up the salary bill. Among the main candidates are Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Franck Kessié and Eric García. Along the same lines, Joan Laporta will have to renegotiate some senior contracts in the squad, such as those of Marc-André Ter Stegen and Frenkie De Jong.
