According to a source from the newspaper Marca, five tax officials went to Messi’s jet to claim taxes.

According to Marca sources, shortly after the plane landed at El Prat airport, Messi encountered “uninvited guests.” These are five agents from the tax department of the city of Barcelona. They boarded El Pulga’s jet to request documents and pay taxes.

Messi was taken to the plane by tax officials to “ask questions”

According to this source, immediately after completing customs procedures at the airport and immediately going to the Treasury to pay taxes.

Being “interrogated” after a 15-hour flight made Messi extremely uncomfortable. Quickly sharing with journalists, El Pulga said: “After a 15-hour flight, some guys immediately questioned me at the tax office. He’s crazy. “

Messi and his father, Jorge Messi, were found guilty of tax evasion in July 2016 and sentenced to 21 months in probationary prison. Furthermore, the player who won the Ballon d’Or 6 times was also fined £ 1.5 million.

In that chaotic moment, Messi once announced that he wanted to leave Spain, but in the end, he decided to stay because of his love for Barcelona. However, at this point, things were very different.

Last summer, Messi sent a fax asking to leave Barcelona. However, the Barcelona leadership (headed by former President Bartomeu) was in total disagreement. In the end, the Argentine superstar had to agree to stay because he did not want to go to the pitch with the club he had been with since he was 12 years old.

Messi is tired of the pressures in Spain

At this point, Messi has less than 1 year of contract with the blaugrana. He does not want to sign a new contract yet. That means El Pulga could leave the club with a free transfer next summer.

Manchester City is very eager to receive Messi. Not long ago, manager Omar Berrada confirmed that the club had enough money to go after the number 10 superstar. The ‘green’ man is willing to spend £ 500 million to pay El Pulga’s salary in 5 years (3 years in Man City, 2 years in New York City).

Barcelona is going through a serious financial crisis when it owes close to 500 million euros. They are looking for ways to cut 191 million euros to avoid bankruptcy. However, the attempt to negotiate a discount with the players has not been successful.
