Lionel Messi is ready to drastically cut his income to return to Barca this summer.
Messi wants to return to Barca after 2 years in Paris
Lionel Messi’s contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season. Although the Paris capital team wanted to renew, the Argentine striker decided to leave. A few weeks ago, Messi’s father and agent, Jorge, made clear his son’s plans to leave PSG to Luis Campos’ Football Advisor.
The scandal earlier this week was like the last straw, ending the last glimmer of hope about the possibility of Messi and PSG renewing their contracts. Currently, the 35-year-old star has two potential destinations: Barca or Al-Hilal. In particular, the club of Saudi Arabia is ready to make Messi the highest-paid sportsman in the world.
However, according to RMC Sport, Messi does not want to leave top football. The Argentina captain wants to return to Barca to continue playing in Europe and especially the Champions League. Because Barca is still having financial difficulties, Messi is ready to drastically cut his income to be able to return to the old roof, which has brought him to the No. 1 position in the world.
Barca offered a salary of 10 million euros/year and Messi agreed. This figure is only 1/3 of Messi’s current income at PSG. The rest depends on La Liga. If Spain’s No. 1 league gives the Blaugrana the green light, this deal will almost certainly be completed.
RMC Sport said Sergio Aguero is working to connect and support Messi’s return to Barca. El Kun is a close friend of Messi and also played for Barca for a short time before he was forced to retire from a heart condition.
