Boss of La Liga questions Messi’s potential return to Barcelona
Lionel Messi’s potential return to Barcelona has been questioned by La Liga President Javier Tebas because of the team’s financial difficulties.
The attacker from Argentina, whose deal with PSG expires in the summer, has been linked to a return to Barcelona, where he won 10 La Liga championships and five Champions League crowns.
Tebas has already stated his desire for Messi to return to La Liga for the upcoming season, but he now thinks it will be “complicated” for Barcelona to do so. In an interview with RMC, he stated, “If you ask me the question today, Messi’s return to Barça is very complicated.”
“We need to wait and see how that develops, but there are a few requirements. Barça players would have to depart, and salaries would have to be cut. Then, you need to know how much money Messi would make at Barça. Barça does not have a money and gas tap like PSG, which enables it to have a huge payroll. It’s challenging for Messi right now to join Barça.
According to reports, Barcelona executives met with La Liga representatives this week to talk about the prospect of bringing Messi back to the team. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the club’s already precarious financial situation, which was already precarious.
