This is the reason why Lionel Messi wouldn´t arrive at FC Barcelona even for 40 million a month

Paris Saint-Germain has several problems in this section of the season, one of them is undoubtedly the poor performance of the team since action resumed after the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which Argentina won. The forward seems to have not suffered any drop in level, however, Parisian fans are concerned about defensive fragility, since it seems that in each game they receive at least one goal.

As if Paris Saint-Germain did not have enough, there is also the issue of the contractual situation of its most important stars, such as Kylian Mbappe or Lionel Messi, although with Neymar Jr there is a different situation.

While PSG works on the renewal of Lionel Messi until 2024, at FC Barcelona they dream of the return of the best player in the history of the culé team. However, Jorge Messi, Leo's father, assured that there are no "economic conditions" for his return and now the main reason that distances the 'Flea' from the Blaugrana team is revealed. Even if they offer him 40 million euros, the world champion cannot return to the Spanish league.

Despite the fact that the Parisian board wants to retain Leo for one more season, an agreement has not yet been reached and everything could be defined after the key to the round of 16 of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. While the situation with the Ligue 1 champion is being defined, from Barcelona they have launched more than one wink to try to convince the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).

Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, indicated on more than one occasion that the Blaugrana club is Leo's home and that the doors are always open for him. In addition, Xavi Hernández, coach of the Catalans, maintained that "the best player in the world" has a guaranteed space in his scheme. However, the reason why Messi will not return to Spain is revealed.

What prevents the return of Lionel Messi to FC Barcelona?

The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, gave a controversial statement where he indicated that Barcelona will not be able to sign players in the next transfer window. In this way, even if the Catalan club reaches an agreement with Leo, it would not be able to formalize the agreement due to the impediment that the body that governs Spanish football would place. “This winter, Barça has not been able to sign players, we have not let them. And in summer they will not be able to sign players either, ”said Tebas. Lionel Messi is looking for a team, as everything seems to indicate that if PSG does not offer him a better contract, the Argentine would not want to renew with the Parisian entity.
