No to Barcelona? Messi reaches agreement in principle with Inter Miami
Lionel Messi has reportedly agreed to join MLS side Inter Miami.
“I wonder who should go now. They said that we are responsible for our salaries (Pique, Busquets, Alba). Now, we've all left and yet they can't sign players!”
Due to their financial instability, Barcelona were informed in March that they needed to generate £178 million to meet LaLiga requirements. The exits of both Busquets and Alba will undoubtedly have contributed to their reaching this goal.
Barcelona looking to bring Messi
Barcelona are still working on bringing Lionel Messi back to the club this summer after it was reported that he would leave PSG.
The only stumbling block holding Messi’s deal is his wages which he earns. He is currently receiving £500,000-a-week wages and Barcelona will have to generate money in order to sign the Argentine.
