Bitter news for FC Barcelona. The involuntary release of Lionel Messi’s current contract could have far-reaching consequences for the Catalans. According to recent media reports, the leak is proof that Barca have violated UEFA’s financial fair play.
Lionel Messi’s contract leak is currently the number one topic of conversation in Barcelona. The publication of his contract by the Spanish newspaper “El Mundo” has not only revealed that the Argentine has earned more than € 550m in the past four years at Blaugrana, but is also likely to lead to an investigation by UEFA .
Real insists on an investigation
Barça may be penalised because of Messi’s leaked contract, which confirms that Barcelona has violated FFP.

As the “Marca” reports, the Messi leak also caused a lack of understanding at Real. Accordingly, Los Blancos see the contract as a “clear violation” of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP), which also deals with how high a club’s salary expenditure may be.
Real is therefore annoyed that they have done everything themselves in recent years to adhere to the FFP and the arch rival apparently did not take this very seriously. The royal insist on an investigation by UEFA.
Barca face far-reaching consequences if violated. From a fine to a transfer ban to exclusion from the UEFA Champions League.
