Lionel Messi will attack Brazil in the Copa America final on Sunday after the first big title with the Argentine national team. Then his future in club football should come into focus. The superstar is currently without a contract and FC Barcelona is in huge financial difficulties.
They go so far that the Catalans are currently unable to register Messi for the game (fussball.news reported). According to media reports, President Joan Laporta insisted that those responsible in LaLiga could turn a blind eye due to the peculiarity of the personnel. After all, Messi is generally recognized as the best player in the world and an absolute figurehead for the Spanish league as a whole. But their boss Javier Tebas is deaf in the ear.
Currently “impossible”
“I don’t know if Messi will start the season at Barca,” Tebas told the broadcaster The sixth. “If there are no exits, it’s impossible.” According to reports, the troubled traditional club is currently around 200 million euros above the salary limit set by the league. As a result, a special rule applies, according to which Barca can only reinvest 25 percent of each euro earned through a sale or a salary cut. “If FC Barcelona wants to register a player with a 25 million euro salary per year, the club must save 100 million euros through transfers or lower salaries,” Tebas told the radio station at the end of June Zero Wave explained.
