La Liga Approves Messi's Transfer to FC Barcelona; Father is Captured Meeting Club President and Confirming Son's Wish to Return
According to Relevo, FC Barcelona's viability plan has finally been approved by La Liga, making it possible for Lionel Messi to rejoin the team.
Relevo claims that La Liga has officially accepted FC Barcelona's viability plan, allowing Lionel Messi to return to the team.
Following the meeting, Jorge Messi confirmed his son's desire to come back to the Blaugrana.
On June 30, Messi will become a free agent. He made his intention to leave current club Paris Saint-Germain known on Saturday before the Ligue 1 powerhouses officially announced the news.
Relevo stated that a Saudi delegation had flown to the French capital in an effort to secure Messi's signature for Al-Hilal after Messi played his final match at the Parc des Princes that evening, a shocking 3-2 loss to Clermont Foot in which he was jeered for missing an opportunity from close range.
Relevo said that Messi's former club FC Barcelona was still his favorite location amid Footmercato's allegation that his camp had accepted a two-year €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) proposition for him to continue his career in the Middle East.
Delays in securing approval from La Liga for a viability plan that demonstrates to the league that the Catalans can pull off the coup economically threatened to completely scupper a prospective return to Catalonia.
But now, according to Relevo, La Liga has approved the proposal, making the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner eligible for a second term at his childhood team.
This is likely what led Jorge Messi to meet Laporta early on Monday afternoon at his home, as seen in Juanmarti's video.
Jorge Messi was captured on camera by Jijantes FC after the meeting saying that the Messi camp "would love" to return to Barca and that he is confident the deal can be completed.
Messi's arrival will still require player sales, and Barcelona will be able to invest 40% of the money they save from losing players who are no longer paying their salaries, plus 20% of the money they get in from trades.
Messi is anticipated to make a choice about his future this week, possibly one that has already been made, according to Barca head coach Xavi Hernandez.
Although Messi might not accept the large money in Saudi Arabia, which would put him in line to top Forbes' list of the World's Highest-Paid Athletes, sources at Al-Hilal informed SPORT that they hoped to announce Messi's arrival on June 6.
In the most recent iteration of the list, Messi came in second place to generational rival Cristiano Ronaldo, courtesy to the Portuguese veteran's switch to Al-Hilal's fierce rivals Al-Nassr.
SPORT reports that Messi will sign a two-year contract with Barcelona at €25 million ($27.5 million) per season.
If Messi had already signed a contract with the Blaugrana, he might travel to the United States with Xavi's team for their preseason tour, which also includes a match against Real Madrid in the El Clasico.
