The Catalan radio station, which is responsible for the failure of the Argentine star Lionel Messi’s contract renewal deal with Barcelona, ​​​​before announcing his departure from the Catalan team, yesterday, Thursday, revealed.

The radio reported that the real person in charge is the former president of Barcelona, ​​Josep Maria Bartomeu, who caused a severe financial crisis in the club that led to its arrival in the salary ceiling problem with the Spanish Football League “La Liga”.

The “La Liga” association imposes a maximum wage for players, and the salary ceiling in Barcelona this season is 350 million euros, and it must not exceed it.

This is like an insurmountable obstacle to renew Messi’s contract, and the Catalan club referred to “economic and structural obstacles” that prevented the Argentine star from staying in the arms of the Catalan team, and thus his departure.

With the expiration of Messi’s previous contract with Barcelona on June 30, the six-time Ballon d’Or owner is free to move to the club of his choice, and Saint-Germain and Manchester City remain the most prominent candidates for contracting with him.
