So it is Not what they are claiming then. It is what they claimed 2 years ago, and you are guessing it still applies today. Now I am 100% convinced it is wrong.

EDIT. seen your subsequent post, ok it is not you guessing, it is a claim by someone else. Which I still struggle to believe.

Let's pretend it is true (makes zero sense). His dad is wasting his time as are Barcelona pretending they want the move. His focus could be on elsewhere in Europe that doesn't have such a bizarre posdibly fictional rule, the US, or Saudi. Where do you think he'll end up.

@River Plate , this below at the end also mentions that 50% 'rule' as it was claimed 2 years ago, but then states that this year it is up to Messi, with no attempt to link the previous claim to his PSG contract. Which is a lot more believable.

Explained: Can Barcelona actually afford to sign Lionel Messi this summer? | Goal.com UK

La Liga have denied Barcelona's proposal for the return of Lionel Messi, casting doubt as to whether a deal to sign the Paris Saint-Germain star can be reached this summer
www.goal.com


When this was suggested two years ago, someone on here pointed out it wasn't a La Liga rule, but a general Spanish law to stop employees being exploited. And some also claimed it wouldn't apply to Messi back then, as he had terminated his contract and could sign a new one at any amount, i.e it only applied to enforced pay cuts.

Either way, apart from the infobae (whatever that is) article nobody else seems to have tried to link that claim from 2 years ago, to a new player coming from another league/country. Reads like a poor assumption on their part. Given there is an article in a more widely recognised sports paper that suggests otherwise, I feel comfortable questioning it. And am slightly intrigued. Sounds like a lot of excuses being set, but let's see how it plays out.

Here in Argentina there's constant talk about all the hurdles that Barcelona has to sign Messi, the most important being that one that supposedly states that there's a limit to the paycut Messi is allowed to accept.

To me it also doesn't make sense. If the guy wants to play for pennis, why wouldn't they let him? I'm not saying it makes sense, I can't tell you the exact rule because I don't know it. All I'm sharing is what's being reported here: Messi wants to go to Barcelona, but he cannot accept to cut his salary to what Barca needs.

I get it pal. If it is being reported, I think is to ultimately justify the decision to go for the money, when it eventually happens.

There would be plenty of big clubs in Europe that would pay him what they pay their current top earners. Which is by no means pennies, it will be in the 100s of thousands a week. If he wants to still play at the top level, and get well paid. If he wants what he is on now, there would be a couple, but they probably are beyond needing him as a player, for that amount. Maybe at half of what he is on, and that would still be more than their top earners. So it really is on him. If he ends up in Saudi, it will be down to choice, rather than a lack of choice.

Is Dennis a coach or an executive at Barcelona?

“Leo Messi is in mentally bad state. He doesn't know how it's going to turn out and if it depended on him, he would play for Barça for free.”

The highest paycut in MLS is $4 million/y, he turned down a billion and gone for the 4 million or smth around because of money? That quite a impressive economic theory of you.

What are you talking about? WTF has Ronaldo got to do with it.

Has he taken a pay cut at all? No, Miami are reportely exceeding his 1m a week wage. On a 4 year deal, giving him more than he would have got mostly elsewhere.

Is he staying in Europe, and taking less money to do so? No, he is going to the States.

Is he going to play at the highest level, in the CL as people expected? No, he's going for the sunshine. And the same wage he has been on for years.

Is he returning to Barcelona, at the expense of is pay, for the final few years? no.

So he's absolutely gone for the money ffs, get a grip.

I have repeatedly said I'd love to see Messi stay in Europe and the CL. Even at at a PL rival.

Have you even read the article? He is reported to be offered 54m a year, for 4 years. I find your american/arab/oil comment bizarre to say the least.
 
Off to America where he will give their game a right shot in the arm.
The correct thing to do rather than Saudi or back to Barca.
 
The one constant I have read , is that his wife / kids weren't comfortable moving to Saudi with the lifestyle. With barca being beggars , inter Miami it is
