La Liga believes Barca and Messi have reached an agreement
Romero revealed in March 2023, Barca had submitted a plan to La Liga to bring back Messi, but the league's leadership had rejected some points in this team's proposal. However, Barca is about to come up with a new plan with changes to wait for La Liga to give the green light. "The La Liga side now believes that Barca and Messi have reached an agreement," Romero added.
Romero is a pro-Barca reporter, considered by many fan associations to be the team's most prestigious source of news. When most French and Spanish media suggested that Messi had agreed to an extension with PSG in November 2022, Romero still insisted that the Argentine superstar had no intention of staying in Paris. True to Romero's words, the renewal negotiations between Messi and PSG have reached a dead end, making him more likely to leave than to stay.
Barca is still trying to find the necessary financial solutions to re-sign Messi. Due to the recent financial crisis, Barca was hit by a salary ceiling in La Liga, making it difficult for them to recruit superstars like Messi. However, the owner of Camp Nou is aiming for options such as paying Messi's salary through a percentage of the team's revenue in all areas. For example, he will receive a part of the ticket Barca sold to the Camp Nou audience at each match.
In an interview with the world's leading fashion house on April 14, Messi said that he "really doesn't know what his future will be." But now the 36-year-old superstar is thinking about the next options.
Barca vice president Rafa Yuste also admitted to working with Messi on the possibility of the two sides reuniting. Coach Xavi Hernandez also said that Barca always "opens the door" to welcome Messi. And striker Robert Lewandowski is excited about the opportunity to play with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
In addition to Barca, Al Hilal club has also sent a salary offer of $ 440 million per year to bring Messi to the Saudi League. There, Messi could become Cristiano Ronaldo's rival again, but the Argentine captain refused because he wanted to continue playing at the top of Europe.
