Barcelona believe they will fulfil all requirements from viability plan to re-sign Messi

In a positive development, Barcelona met with La Liga today following which they now believe that they will fulfil all the requirements from their viability plan, which will allow them to re-sign Lionel Messi.

This claim comes from Gerard Romero, who states that La Liga will give the green light to the Blaugrana’s economic viability plan tomorrow, May 19.

Messi’s possible fairytale return to Barcelona has been the talk of the town for months now as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season. With renewal talks collapsing, the 35-year-old is primed to leave the club in the summer.

And, Barcelona have positioned themselves as a possible destination for their former captain. Players, manager Xavi Hernandez, and president Joan Laporta have all gone public with their desire to see Messi back at the club in the summer.

Following their La Liga title triumph, Laporta confirmed that the Catalan giants will do everything to bring the Argentina skipper back to the club for one last dance.

The major hurdle in Barça’s bid to re-sign the seven-time Ballon’d Or winner had been the Financial Fair Play. However, they have been working hard to address the problem and to that end had submitted a financial viability plan to La Liga.

There were some concerns about whether the league would give its okay to the plan, but in recent weeks, Barcelona have been growing confident about it.

Now after today’s meeting with La Liga officials, they believe that they are in a position to meet all the requirements of their viability plan which should enable them to re-sign Messi. An approval from the league is expected to arrive tomorrow.

Romero further claims that the summer transfer window is likely to be one of the most aggressive ones by the club, even more than last year.

The journalist adds that Messi is already over of the contract offer that Barcelona plan to present him, even though the club have been waiting for La Liga’s green light to begin formal talks.

All in all, the stars seem to be aligning for Messi to secure a move back to his old stomping ground after having been forced to leave in 2021.
