After beating Barcelona 8-2 in the Champions League quarterfinals, Lionel Messi announced his intention to leave the club. However, the Catalans did not let the Argentine class go, as they would only be allowed to leave if an escort paid the € 700 million redemption price.
The mess was supposed to stay, but it’s easy to imagine leaving Camp Nou for free in the summer of 2021 after his contract expires.
As you know, at the end of October Josep María Bartomeu has resigned as president of Barça, Carles Tusquets took his place. The interim president betrayed that he would have sold Lionel Mess.
“If I had seen the situation from an economic point of view, I would have sold Mess in the summer. The club would have saved a lot on the salaries of the players and the amount it would have received would have been good ” Tusquets said.
Barcelona is not in a very good financial position, which is not helped by Lionel Messi’s weekly salary of 500,000 euros. Tusquets said Thursday that they will not be able to pay salaries to footballers in January, who will also receive late bonuses. He didn’t tell me when this would happen.
The Catalan club has been greatly affected by the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic. Management announced last week that it had agreed with members of the first framework to cut salaries in order to comply with the new La Liga restrictions.
Carles Tusquets believed that the financial situation of the club would be solved at the end of the season, especially if the fans could be admitted to the games again.
