Messi re-signing or moving is a bit of a side story for me now.

The story has become the financial collapse of Barca of which Messi is a part in the story.

Ive changed my mind over and over whether he will stay or go (let alone where he will go)

Now it appears he wants to stay and is prepared to half his wages. That does surprise me but good on him if true.

Now the question is…under what circumstances is it allowed?

The much bigger question is how are Barca getting out of this mess with masses of short term debts payable some to other clubs. That’s a big no-no with FIFA let alone UEFA.

Still an interesting thread I think.

If they comply with La Liga Economic Controls they bite the bullet this year but next year their spending limit will go up and it may help them in the medium term. They should have a good surplus next season.

If he does sign for 5 years it is a good thing as means he is very unlikely to darken our door
 
It's less "reduces his wages to half" and more "spreads out his wages over five years, even when he is unlikely to still be playing". It's paying him an expensive contract via Klarna, and as anyone has used Klarna knows it's fucking annoying when you're still paying installments after you've used up the original purchase.

Hopefully this thread will then take its long overdue place in the BIN.
 
Amazing to give a 34 year old player a 5 year contract. It seems like that's just delaying the problem. No doubt they'll be unable to sign players in a few years time because they're paying 600k a week for someone who's managing 20-odd games a season.

Lionel Messi: Barcelona star agrees to stay on reduced wages

Lionel Messi agrees to stay at Barcelona on a deal until 2026 that reduces his wages to half of his previous salary.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

the situation hasnt changed much per se:

"The announcement is dependent on player departures that will allow Barca to fund the Argentina captain's wages."

although again i think barca is getting that sorted out with the Griezmann-Saul swap, but surely theres got to be more depatures than just him, i know he's on a lot of money but theres still lots to get off the wage bill to incorporate messis wages into it

apparently, messi and griezmann together are over 50% over barca's wages?
 
The price of football reported this

Barca asked the Spanish FA if they could offer Messi a 2 year contract worth x amounts but put it through the books as a 5 year deal ie pay a 2 year contract over 5 years so they don’t fail the 70% wages to turnover rule!

If that's true they should be nailed to the cross.
