La Liga president confirms that they will ‘answer’ Barcelona’s feasibility plan soon

The Barcelona circles have been dominated by talk of the Financial Feasibility Plan and how La Liga are yet to greenlight the process, which in turn, is badly affecting the club’s pursuit of Lionel Messi.

Although Barça have reportedly made an unofficial €25 million proposal to Messi, they cannot move an inch without La Liga approving their economic viability plan.

However, in a recent media interaction, La Liga president Javier Tebas answered queries to Barcelona’s pursuit of Messi, suggesting that the club must sell players in order to be able to buy others, regardless of the approval.

“Barça signings? I don’t know if they will sign Messi or which player. In order to sign players, other players must leave. Barça work and we supervise. This is our function,” Tebas said (h/t Diario SPORT).

Barcelona must indeed look to sell their unwanted players if they are to make enough economic provision for Messi. The club are actively searching for suitors for Samuel Umtiti while Clement Lenglet is likely to be offloaded on a permanent deal as well.

But the focus must be to sanction the sale of a first-team star, who could bring in significant revenue to the Barcelona coffers. At the same time, the club must wait for the economic viability plan.

Talking about the approval, Tebas added, “Soon there will be an answer to Barça’s viability plan. They are aware of everything.”

Barça are likely to make some moves once they receive the approval. But until then, the club will look to over round the clock in an attempt to not only convince Messi but also get rid of the unwanted stars ahead of the new season.
