Lionel Messi Transfer News: Laliga Presiden Javier tebas has reveals how Barcelona can sign Messi
Lionel Messi Transfer News: Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, has outlined the procedures that must be followed in order for Barcelona to re-sign Lionel Messi this summer without violating any league rules.
Messi’s current agreement with PSG is set to expire at the conclusion of the current campaign, and a new one has not yet been finalized. After two years in France, it has been learned that PSG has accepted the Argentine’s impending departure. Messi is planning negotiations about a return to Barcelona.
Due to La Liga’s stringent financial constraints enacted after the coronavirus outbreak, Messi was released from Camp Nou in 2021. The financial situation at Barcelona is remains precarious, despite the club having activated multiple ‘levers’ and mortgaging club assets to increase transfer spending.

In addition, Tebas has said that Barça must make other concessions before Messi can be re-registered.
He said: “Barcelona needs to reduce their pay bill. It will take a lot of work on their part, Right now, I don’t think it’s possible for him to sign. But there is still a lot of time, and Barca can still try to get Leo. We are still looking for a plan from Barcelona to see if it will work. They’ll have to work hard to make it happen. They can sell players, but they still need to register some players.”
Gavi is one of the ‘players’ referred to by Tebas; when La Liga and Spanish courts declared that Barcelona could not register a new senior agreement, Gavi has reverted to playing under his junior contract. Gavi’s contract is up in the summer, and the Blues have been linked heavily to signing him.
