Barcelona need to send economic plan to La Liga by April 30, will learn margin for Messi offer

With the chatter around FC Barcelona re-signing Lionel Messi getting louder and louder, RAC1’s Roger Saperas has provided an update on the club’s financial situation and the economic viability plan.

It is no secret that Barça are facing problems with regard to their Financial Fair Play and will need to secure a green light from La Liga over their economic viability plan so that they can be in a position to re-sign and register Messi ahead of next season.

Now, Roger Saperas has come up with an update, stating that Barcelona have until April 30 to submit their final economic viability plan to La Liga.

Once that is done, the league will assign salary limits for all clubs at which point the Blaugrana can learn what kind of margin they have ahead of the summer and what sort of contract offer they can table to Messi.

The Argentine, for his part, has a concrete proposal from PSG, but is not signing it as he is waiting to learn more about their sporting plans for next season. Messi also has a mammoth €400 million per year deal from Saudi Arabia.

But, the 35-year-old is understood to be waiting for Barcelona to make a contract proposal, which will likely arrive once the economic plan is approved by the league.

It has been reported that Barça could offer Messi a two-year contract with a net salary of €13 million per season.

Earlier today, Gerard Romero reported that Barcelona have been in constant contact with La Liga about the economic plan and have informed that they will be making two important sales in the summer while reducing the salaries of some others to make room for Messi.

Romero also added that the chances of the league greenlighting Barça’s plan are increasing and should they complete the exit operations, there will be no problems in registering Messi.
