If Barcelona didn’t sign Aguero-Memphis, Messi could stay

Madrid –

President LaLiga Javier Tebas claim Lionel Messi could have survived Barcelona this season. Unfortunately, Los Cules first brought in two new players, Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay.

Messi’s contract extension became a hot topic of discussion last summer. Barcelona tried to renew Messi’s contract, but LaLiga prevented it.

It turns out that LaLiga forbade Barcelona to sign Messi because of the club’s financial problems, so their salary limit is only 97 million euros for a season. Although Messi was not paid, Barcelona’s salary bill at that time had exceeded the limit.

As a result, Messi and Barcelona had to part ways after 17 years together. Messi has now moved to Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona is proving to be struggling without Messi.

According to Tebas, leaving Lionel Messi actually could have been prevented had the club focused on managing the player’s new contract, rather than bringing in Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay.

The presence of Aguero and Memphis has made the salary bill swell, so that Barcelona will have to release some of its players. Moreover, Barcelona was also incited by Real Madrid by not signing a long -term contract with CVC.

“I had dinner at Laporta’s house and he agreed to sign the CVC contract. I don’t know if that could make Barcelona sign Messi, but then I got a call from Laporta. ‘Can we speed up the deal with CVC? This kid (Messi) is already nervous, “said Slash as quoted ESPN.

“I told him: When the day of signing came, Florentino got in the way and Laporta said: No, no, I have a point of view’. Florentino was the mastermind, I have no doubts about that.”

“There is an agreement that if Barca signs a deal with CVC, then they can use 15 percent of that money to sign players. I think they can sign Messi.”

“Laporta signed players like Memphis, Aguero… If they didn’t sign those players, Messi could have continued.”
