La Liga approves financial plan allowing Barcelona to negotiate with Messi

"Immediately after La Liga's decision was confirmed, FC Barcelona and Messi's father, Jorge Messi, who is also his agent, agreed to meet again soon to officially discuss Messi's return. In which, the Catalan team will also make a specific proposal," Marca reported.

La Liga president Javier Tebas agrees to approve Barcelona's financial plan

Previously, Barcelona President Laporta and Jorge Messi met on Monday (June 5), but the two sides did not actually negotiate, it was just a conversation to find a solution. Any decision must wait for La Liga to agree with Barcelona's financial plan submitted a few weeks ago, then the two sides can negotiate.

"Messi only wants to return to Barcelona and I would also like to see my son return to Barcelona. Returning to Barcelona is definitely the first choice," Jorge Messi told the Spanish press after meeting with Mr. Laporta on June 5.

With La Liga agreeing on a financial plan, Barcelona are one step closer to negotiating with Messi.

"However, it will depend on many other factors to reach the final destination for Barcelona to officially sign and register Messi in their squad. That is, the club needs to prioritize resolving previously registered contracts but not yet approved, including those of Gavi, Araujo, Inaki Pena, Sergi Roberto. Next, they must recalculate with the contracts they are about to recruit such as Inigo Martinez, Zubimendi, Ilkay Gundogan. And above all, Barcelona must ensure the sale of surplus players to continue reducing the salary fund as committed in the plan submitted to La Liga," Marca added.

Messi's road back to Barcelona promises to be full of obstacles.

Also according to Marca : "Barcelona may make an official offer to sign a contract with Messi under the "1+1" method (1 season and an option to extend for 1 season), with a salary of about 25 million euros/year. But everything will also be very complicated, with the time to respond to this offer possibly lasting (until the end of the transfer period). Therefore, it is still unclear whether Messi will agree to wait or not, while the generous offers from Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad Club and Inter Miami (USA) of former player David Beckham are on the table".

Marca newspaper recalled: "Messi certainly does not forget what happened to him in the summer of 2021, when Barcelona had secured everything, before only 1 day left to sign the contract extension, they announced that they were not eligible and put him in an extremely difficult situation, so he had to accept to leave and join PSG Club".
