With the summer window approaching, many payers’ future remains unclear. Names like Neymar are going to be put on the market for the teams to have a fight on. By far, the biggest name on this list is Lionel Messi. He has refused to sign the extension with Paris-based club PSG and will be a free agent in the coming transfer window. While many clubs might have their eyes on literally the biggest free agency of the window, no team has a genuine option to bid for him.
Fans from all around the world have been praying for Lionel Messi to come back to Camp Nou again. Ever since he won the World Cup, these speculations have only risen. With a few meetings between Messi and Xavi among other Barca veterans, it was clear that the Argentinian soccer pride might just go back to the club he has played his entire career.
While this may seem fascinating to almost every soccer fan. It is going to be an economical nightmare to sign Messi even under the same contract he has with PSG. Barca is struggling, and this meant if Messi wants to join the club, he will have to take a hefty pay cut.
