I don't know how true it is but a journalist on twitter said that LaLiga warned Barca previously about their wage bill and told them to decrease it but they didn't and thats why Tebas won't give them a break now. According to this guy LaLiga and Tebas would have to answer questions about why it was allowed if they let it carry on. Like I said though how reliable this guy is I don't know and I couldn't find the tweet again to post on here.

A considerable number of posters still have great difficulty in believing, or cannot believe or simply refuse to believe that Messi can or will leave Barcelona. Others are sure Tebas and la liga will engineer a way to deal with Barcelona's financial problems so that Messi can remain at the club. It is time to open up minds, shake off these rehearsed responses and consider the very real possibility that Messi's future is not at the Nou Camp. Consider for a moment that Messi no longer wishes to play for them and thus any tricks Tebas, Laporta or anyone else dreams up to show that Barca are awash with money are likely to have no impact on the situation. It is entirely possible that Messi's transfer request last summer was, as he himself said at the time, the result of some years of frustration and dissatisfaction, that the club were aware of his discontent and yet had (and still have not) done nothing to help change his attitude. Millions have been spent on team rebuilding but the only player Messi valued was hounded out of the club last summer - and promptly won the title with Atleti, while Barca finished third. His resolution remained firm and he is no longer a Barca player. That's the situation: Messi meant what he said last summer and he still means it.

That WAS the situation, but it's a long time ago now.

Since then, Barto's reign of terror has been brought to an end. And Messi has since appeared in PR shots with Laporta.

It was Barto was behind the transfers. The awful, awful deals. And Barto's lot ran the disgraceful campaign spreading social media slurs about Barca players. Barca was not a happy place, and it didn't take a genius to realise they'd been going backwards for some time, and the negligent approach to contracts and transfers would come back to haunt them.

That in mind, it's pretty believable that getting rid of Barto was enough to pacify him.

There'll be many, many pops at Barto until this is over. And a few at Tebas. Maybe a few more at Barca players who they want rid of. That's all totally within the norms of an operation working to keep the core Barca 'family' safe from harm and together. The one that resembles the club that was there when Messi started.

Right now Real look smug as fuck. But seriously - nah. They've likely got to get rid of something like ten players to sign anyone of note. An aging squad. Gaps in defence. Questions over finances, cash flow. That's just being kept out of view at the moment. But wait and see how this plays out.

Messi will in all probability stay. Barca will register their players. Real won't get anyone big this year. They were Tebas said - no exception for Messi - no exception for Haaland. If Barca can scrape through, they may indeed call that - preventing Real signing Mbappe/Haaland this year - a strategic win. And that may have the knock-on effect of making it harder for Real to secure short term investment.
