The exit of Lionel Messi of the FC Barcelona during the summer of 2021 has been one of the actions that more debate and repercussions has generated in the barcelonismo. The now player of Paris Saint-Germain is a symbol for the club so much inside as out of the fields, by what his possible return is a subject that is on everyone's lips of face to the 2023/24.

However, everything aims to that the Parisian group will put all his effort to convince him to renew by at least two seasons more. The Barça dreams with doing reality his signing, but the true is that the delicate economic situation and the constant restrictions of LaLiga do more than complex any operation by the Argentinian.

In fact, the patronal was one of the responsible that Leo left of the club, since they guaranteeed his continuity under the condition that the Barcelona yielded his rights to CVC. Like this it has it desvelado the president Joan Laporta, the one who in some statements affirmed that that was one of the big reasons of the course of the '10'.

"LaLiga Said us that we could renew to Messi if we signed the operation to mortgage 10% of the television rights during 50 years with CVC. We comment it to him to the part of Leo and said him that it was not possible", aimed the mandator in an information published by the portal 'Folders Blaugranas'.

Part of the problem

It is important to stand out that the pandemia of the COVID, the bad management of the ancient Managerial Board and the high wage of the rosarino also contributed to that the club could not guarantee him a new agreement. To this adds him the almost compulsory condition of LaLiga so that it kept inside the institution. It will be necessary to see which sucede with his future in the straight final of his agreement with the PSG, although all would seem to be directed so that it produce an extension of agreement.
