FC Barcelona delivers this Thursday before LaLiga an economic viability plan for the 2023-24 season. The intention of the Blaugrana club is to present a package of new measures to the employers with the aim that the organization chaired by Javier Tebas give it its approval and that Barça can carry out various operations that it has pending, such as the registrations of Gavi and Araújo, the renewal of Balde and the arrival of Iñigo MartÃnez. But there is more. There is a star that is very pending.
Within the planning for the next course, the Barcelona entity is also working with the return of Leo Messi. The numbers that LaLiga will receive include that well-quantified possibility that Joan Laporta hopes will be validated.
FC Barcelona needs that green light from LaLiga to definitively launch for the return of the Argentine footballer. Hence, in recent weeks, the football director, Mateu Alemany, has been working hard on the financial proposal that the club should undertake in the coming months.
The dream is to see Leo Messi dressed in the Barça shirt again. The Argentine contract ends in June with PSG, so he can negotiate his future freely and is waiting for the offer of the club of his life, in which he played 17 years in the first team. Barça is making numbers and they add up. In the club they are optimistic with the found formula. But first they know that they must convince the Thebes calculator with the figures and obtain more financial fair play before making the final move.
On everyone’s mind is the way in which Messi left Barcelona in August 2021, when both parties had already reached an agreement, which, at the moment of truth, it was impossible to translate into a contract and register him to compete.
Said plan includes a series of cut measures that must be carried out before July. The salary reduction is one of them. Barça exceeds the salary limit set by LaLiga and requires significant savings. Hence, the renewal of Busquets, for one campaign, is very low. Barça is also considering some casualties that will allow them to oxygenate the box and gain margin.
If the offices manage to get rid of the 200 million left over in salaries, Messi’s return, two years after his departure, would be feasible. But the news is that within the club, there is already planning being done with the Argentine, world champion and winner of The Best, under the command of Xavi.
