Lionel Messi (9 Viewers)

[Stephan]

Anyone remembers how our players wages changed in 2006? We got rid of some big earners like Vieira and Zlatan. Did the likes of Nedved, DP, Trez had their wages cut 50%?

What part of Barca can’t sign him even if he plays for free can’t you understand?

I've not followed this story closely. Why not?

How is it any different from any other Barca signing a new contract?

Because Barca are over their La Liga wage cap and cannot register any new players. And yes Messi will have to be registered as a new player because he is a free agent.

This blog explains it in more detail:

Well if he doesn’t extend then he’ll leave for free next year. If you’re Mbappe why do you agree to such extension?

Why?

Because he wants to play with Messi.

So if he agreed a contract to pay him say €1 a week on 30th June it would be OK but on 2nd July the league won't allow it?

Seems very harsh as he is not a new signing, you'd think common sense would prevail.

Regardless I'm sure if he lowered his demands they could have come to a solution before it expired, even before he entered his final year.

it seems like a power move by Barca too. La liga was going to let them sign him if they agreed not to work towards ESL anymore

Are you stupid or just an idiot? Barca CAN sign him but choose not to because of his wages. They preferred Aguero and Depay before Messi and his "reasonable" 50 million per year salary.
They conveniently brought two attacking players and somewhat forgot about La liga salary cap while preparing Messi's contract.

You’re a fucking idiot. Barca are 200 million over the wage cap for the upcoming season, so they can’t sign him even if Messi pays them to play at Camp Nou.

The idiot is you, fucking moron. Do you think Barca have not been aware of the salary cap? Hahaha. So, they bring 4 new players but decided they will not push to register Messi, but for the other three they are still searching for possibilities.
First, learn to read the info you provide, imbecile.

Numbers on that piece don’t seem to be right. Author makes typos too (billion for million) which makes it even more ridiculous.

Poor Barca, Messi's father held a gun to their head while they signed the contract.

Hey, let's blame Ramsey for Juve's financial situation as well.

What? One year €139m?

Neither of them have been registered yet.

Seriously, every moron who comes again in this thread and starts arguing how it is not possible for Barca to sign Messi even if he lowers enough his wages, should be banned from it. There should be stupidity cap even in Juventuz.
