Operation ‘Messi’ is on the way for sure. The Catalans will definitely do everything possible to bring back their iconic player this June, and for that they need a big and successful financial plan which involves 200 million euros. But this time, even their biggest critic says they have a chance. Laporta… ¿Messi al Barça..? SI CRACK pic.twitter.com/LCvSxMSgbS— Mateu Padremany Font (@MPadremanyFont) April 16, 2023 As even bids on the trees know, Barcelona is (still) in financial problems and they are working on two fronts at the same time: one is to lower the financial debt and the second is to keep the team strong and competitive with Real Madrid. And they are planning to bring Lionel Messi back, and even the club’s president Joan Laporta was bold enough to reply to a fan’s question about his arrival with ‘yes’. But how will they do it?Lewandowski: I hope to play with Messi next season at BarcaThe club has been working for months on the resale of its audiovisual rights Marca reports. The previous season they sold 24.5% to Orpheus Media for a value of 100 million and the other 24.5% to Partners.com for the same amount. One of the options that the club is considering is to sell 49% of Barca Studios, the maximum allowed by the Assembly members, to one of the interested companies. So far, the mentioned sum is around 200 million, which would be a significant income and would allow them to pursue Messi. They could also get some players to cut their wages and some of them will be sold, which is another way of getting the money. At the moment, Barca is trying to get the investment, while the Argentinian is waiting for them, but also for PSG to put their final bid on the table. He also has the best financial offer, but it’s from Saudi Arabia, not so interesting football market. Divorce! Messi is about to leave Paris and lose 200 millionOne of Barcelona’s biggest critics, at least when the financial part is concerned, La Liga president Javier Tebas was surprisingly optimistic when asked about the topic. “Not today. But there is a lot of time left, we are awaiting a Viability Plan, they have other players who have to register, they can sell players too… There may be proposals. But of course today… if Gavi is not there, it is difficult. But, hey, like La Liga, hopefully Barcelona Football Club will make the necessary moves to gain financial control for Lionel Messi to come in. I hope it does and manages to do it. As a fan of Leo Messi, I think he’s the best player in the world… I hope it does” Tebas said after La Liga assembly meeting. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7190658##
