AS: Messi’s transfer to Barcelona is almost impossible due to the club’s financial problems
It became known about the possible disruption of the transfer of the Argentine striker Paris Saint-Germain Lionel Messi to Barcelona. AS reports.
According to the publication, the transfer is almost impossible due to the financial problems of the club. One is that the Catalans need to cut their payroll by around 200 million euros. However, it will be difficult to do this, as the team will have to register new, improved contracts for five existing players: Gavi, Ronald Araujo, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto and Alex Balde.
It is noted that it is also impossible to offer Messi a small salary in the first season and significantly increase it in subsequent ones. Payments to a football player can only be increased by 25 percent compared to the previous season.
On March 18, information appeared about Messi’s intention to return to Barcelona. Managing Barca later reported that the team was confident that the deal would close as soon as possible.
Messi signed with PSG in August 2021. Before that, he played for Barcelona throughout his career, with which he won the Spanish championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
