Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona are still in flirting mode. In an informal meeting, both parties expressed mutual appreciation. However, if the clammy Catalans want to specifically negotiate a possible return from La Pulga, the financing of the deal must be clarified.
To this end, Barça wants to secure the support of external financiers – Messi’s commitment would under no circumstances be able to be lifted on its own. Gerard Romero reports on such a financing model. However, the journalist close to the club does not mention the names of possible sponsors and partners.
With external money, the club wants to overcome the hurdles set by La Liga. Only with a significant improvement in the club’s balance sheet will the League Association allow the Blaugrana to register new players. Thus, the front runner has to hope for the help of players who want to see Messi in Barça shirt again.
