If Barcelona are to be true to their word about balancing their books, somebody has to go. Neymar raise, surely Messi gonna get a raise to match. Spent on Umtitti I believe and in need of another mid field player and a replacement for Dani Alves. Barcas wage bill was 70% of revenue last year which is insanely high and unsustainable long term. They also want to make stadium upgrades. They gave up on Nolito because the price was ton much. Not saying they will sell but if ever there was a time to seriously consider such a move now might be the time.
Agreed, their wage situation is madness in the long term and Neymar is seemingly out of the running with the new contact. With Suarez our big problem is the player himself, he absolutely hates the English media and I wouldn't be surprised if he refused to move. Messi, coming to play with his best buddy Aguero after his tax problems in Spain might be the most likely option.
