It is difficult to bring Messi back to Barca: La Liga president

For a few days, the process of bringing Argentina's World Cup-winning captain Lionel Messi back to the old Dera Barcelona was underway. La Liga and Barcelona authorities held a meeting on Thursday. There was a discussion about a financial report given by Barca before the return of Messi. However, nothing is known about the process and how Messi will be returned to the Catalan camp. However, in the meantime, La Liga president Javier Tebas, who is interested in returning Messi, says something different!

Messi took a tearful farewell from Barcelona in 2021, breaking the relationship of almost two eras. The club, left in financial trouble, have recently become desperate to bring back the Argentine superstar. Their balloon of hope needs fresh air mainly because Messi's contract with PSG has not yet been renewed. However, at that time, Messi was forced to leave the club due to the financial problems of Barcelona. When the subject of his return comes up, the economic calculation naturally comes to the fore. The superstar's return to Catalonia depends on it.

Until recently, La Liga president Tebas was excited about Messi's return to Barcelona. But his exuberance has waned a bit. As a result, he thinks that Messi's return to Barcelona is not easy at all. According to Tebas, Barcelona will have to do a lot to get Messi back. La Liga's salary cap obligations must be met. Messi's salary structure must be within UEFA's financial consistency policy.

In an interview with RMC Radio, Tebas could not be too optimistic about Messi, "If you ask me about Messi's return to Barcelona, I will say that it is very difficult. The process is quite complicated.

"Look, Barcelona is not a club like PSG, where money is not an issue," says the La Liga president. Barcelona players cannot afford to play for huge salaries. So the issue is complicated for them.

That's why Barcelona is in trouble with Messi's return:
Javier Tebas says Barcelona have several conditions to meet. This will require a lot of changes in the current squad of Barcelona. They had already informed that he would stay at Barca for a much lower salary than what Messi received while at PSG. However, the process of returning him did not stop.

As a result, Tebas says in the interview, "Barcelona has to fulfill several conditions. Some players will have to be released to make room for Messi. Because otherwise the salary limit will be exceeded. Players' salaries should be reduced. Then you have to think about Messi's salary. Messi can no longer be paid any amount. Pay according to his demand. Messi's demand will surely be high.

Meanwhile, Messi's two-year contract with French club PSG expires in June. Messi made his place in history by winning the World Cup for Argentina. But he has not been successful for PSG so far. The French giants have been eliminated from the last sixteen of the Champions League twice in a row. The French Cup was not won in these two years. The possibility of a new PSG contract arose after Messi won the World Cup for Argentina in December. But European media say it is stuck for various reasons. The condition that Messi has given to PSG for a new contract is not possible for the French club. In such a situation, Messi's PSG chapter is about to end.

Which has influenced Barca to rethink. In addition, the constant advice from former Barca star footballers and the chants of 'Messi Messi' at Camp Nou make the case for his return even stronger. But it seems difficult to meet the demands of supporters and authorities. In addition to Barca, American major soccer club Inter Miami and Saudi club Al-Hilal are also sitting with sacks of money. Meanwhile, they continue to try to convince this superstar with various offers. Former English captain and Miami owner David Beckham suddenly appeared in PSG training yesterday. Which is not based on Messi's transfer, there is no guarantee either. All in all, where Messi's next destination is going to be, we have to wait some more time!
