Messi, Barça’s top scorer, technically terminated his 21-year career with the club last month and is now a free agent after his previous contract expires.
Since Joan Laporta took over as Barça’s president, the club has been trying to cut the payroll.
Recently, the president of La Liga (Spanish Football League) Javier Tebas said that half of the losses of La Liga fell on “Barcelona“, whose total debt is more than 1 billion euros.
Messi’s last contract, signed in 2017, was the most profitable in the world of sports.
There are no details about what “Messi” offers Barcelona now.
Messi, 34, won his first major international title with Argentina last weekend when they beat rivals Brazil in America’s Cup final.
Messi has been playing for Barcelona since he was 13 years old.
