Another shocking turn in the Lionel Messi saga. Diario MARCA has
published a report saying it’s “almost impossible” that Messi will renew
his FC Barcelona contract.
“There has been a radical turnaround in the case of Lionel Messi’s
renewal with Barcelona, with recent information being that the deal was
close to being announced, yet a blockbuster revelation has suggested
that Barcelona will now not be able to re-sign the Argentine,” claims the
Madrid-based paper.
This news comes in stark contrast with previous reports, which claimed
that an investment made by the company CVC into La Liga would make
it easier for the Catalans to stay under the salary cap with Messi taking
a 50% pay cut.
This new report says that while the cash injection would help, it would
still keep the situation quite fraught in terms of the wage bill.
And one big complication is that were La Liga to accept the cash
injection, the big teams would be forced to abandon the European Super
League concept. This is something that Real Madrid and Barcelona are
resistant to doing.
This means that, according to MARCA, we are left with “a situation
whereby Barcelona extending Messi’s contract and moving forward with
the Super League plans are impossible to do together.”
Multiple sources and reporters have been unable to confirm or deny the
rumor.
However, there is a report from Catalan radio which says that while it’s
true that things are more complicated than first expected, it is still not
impossible for Messi to continue at Barcelona.
