Not sure it's ever happening... Barca will try and sign him for dole money if they can.

They've got tossers like Griezeman on 600k a week not surprised by their issues, even in the current market he ain't worth 200k proper overrated player him would hate us to sign him.

Never gonna happen with Messi even if we're the most perfect team for him right now... even if I've been waiting to see a better or even as magical a dribbler of the ball in the Prem since my namesake.

The wait continues.

Marca - Barcelona.

Tick Tock!

Barcelona will kick off their 2021/22 LaLiga Santandercampaign on August 15 when they take on Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou.

Whilst the club hierarchy would ideally like to reach that date with their summer business taken care of, there are a number of key tasks that they needs to deal with in order to do so.

Firstly, whilst the departure of nine players this summer, such as Juan Miranda, Konrad de la Fuente and Francisco Trincao, has reduced the club's wage bill by 35 million euros, the club know that further sales are crucial in order to lighten the wage bill sufficiently.

The great sale​

The club need to lighten the wage bill by 100 million euros, and would be able to achieve this should they sell Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho.

However, the sale of these players looks unlikely to be completed before the start of the season, even though time is of the essence.

Failure on the club's part to adapt to Financial Fair Play rules means that they will not be able to sign players or bring in Lionel Messi on his new contract until the situation has been resolved.

The salary reduction​

Joan Laporta has spent a number of weeks speaking to various first team players about adapting their salaries to the club's economic situation.

Although he had hoped that Messi's decision to take a 50 per cent pay decrease would lead to the likes of Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba doing the same, there has been no signs of an agreement from any of these four players ten days later.

Lionel Messi​

The club had hoped to bring Messi back into the frame for pre-season at the start of August, however this situation has become complicated.

The fact that the club have not sufficiently reduced their wage bill means that they can't welcome him back yet.

However, given the agreement between the player and the club over a new contract, Laporta is working with LaLiga and Javier Tebas to find a solution.

 
the state that Barca (and to a certain extent Madrid) are in, it is clearly obvious that they were throwing all their financial spuds into the ESL basket.

that that has collapsed is the reason they are in this pickle now.

the financial mismanagement of the spanish 2 is criminal. no wonder they are not letting the ESL die; btw what has happened with this? are Madrid, Barca and Juve still intent on playing each other in a never ending round robin, or what?

Stop dreaming the little fella will be there and so will the rest, one rule for the rich, one for the poor.

LaLiga need Messi just as much, if not more so than Barcelona.
