Messi's renewal
There is already an agreement in principle and it is expected that on his return to Barcelona,
Messi will renew his relationship until 2026
.
One of the main conflicts, which so far blocked the negotiations, was the famous financial fair play.
It is that as
Javier Tebas
, the president of LaLiga,
announced more than once
, they are not willing to make an exception to allow Messi's renewal.
In this way, the Catalan club needed to cut its wage bill not to exceed the cap.
In addition, the will of Leo was key in the negotiation, because he agreed to reduce his salary by 50 percent so that the numbers close everywhere.
In addition, it will have a termination clause of 350 million euros.
