"Agreement in principle" between Messi and Barça for an extension ...
According to all the Catalan press including
Sport
,
Mundo Deportivo
and
L'Esportiu
,
Lionel Messi
and FC Barcelona have agreed to an "agreement in principle" about a contract extension. The Argentine striker (34) has been officially without a club since July 1. He should extend until 2026 with a salary reduced by 50%, now 20 M € / year, in order to help Barça to pay off its debt. The formalization could fall at the end of the week. There are still contractual details to settle, but the two parties have therefore given their word to continue the adventure together.
Sport
was already making headlines on a Messi "closer" than ever to extend this Wednesday morning, the day after the
Parisian
news
that PSG had given up on the six-fold Ballon d'Or.

... and Griezmann on course to return to Atlético
This Wednesday, we learned from
Mundo Deportivo
that
Antoine Griezmann's
return to
Atlético de Madrid was increasingly credible. Between his heavy salary, his ups and downs and the recent controversial video, the French striker (30) is no longer untouchable, two years after his transfer for more than € 100 million. An exchange with Spanish midfielder
Saul Niguez
(26) would be on the table. And according to
Cadena COPE
radio
and confirmed by
RMC Sport
, talks are accelerating between Barça and Atlético. Saul Niguez is said to be paid half as much as Griezmann's. Such an exchange would therefore facilitate the extension of
Lionel Messi's
contract
, with whom there are still financial details to work out.
The tricolor world champion would be delighted to return to Atlético, the only destination that could convince him to leave Catalonia.

. Among them are the offensives
Samuel Kalu
,
Hwang Ui-jo
and
Josh Maja
. Two veterans, defender
Paul Baysse
(33) and striker
Jimmy Briand
(35), could terminate their contracts. Finally, the Croatian midfielder
Toma Basic
(24 years old), courted by Naples and AS Roma, could bring in € 10 million to the Girondins, whose goal is to cash nearly € 30 to € 40 million this summer and spend as much for recruits, but with significantly lower wages.
