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

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

Has Griezmann agreed to move?

apparently, messi and griezmann together are over 50% over barca's wages?

He can perform in the champions league latter stages because unlike our boys he plays against the likes of Malaga most weeks

This is a hot take and I approve whilst completely disagreeing!

Has he signed yet?

Just about.

Only the financials to finalise.

"No" would have sufficed :-)
Basically, nothing has changed since yesterday then (except Messi is one day further out of contract)

No, yesterday nobody was claiming anything. Today someone is claiming something, and someone else agrees.

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!

?
contract - that reportedly paid him £123m a season
bbc reporting that barcelona was paying messi £123million a season wow £10 million a month
UEFA FFP are happy for barcelona to pay somebody that much without any punishment and now barcelona are fucked

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