's self-interested status has left FC Barcelona facing a major challenge, with contract renewal talks seemingly at an impasse. According to Spanish newspaper As, Barcelona is struggling to renew Lionel Messi's contract due to La Liga's salary cap rules. President Laporta has tried to make room for Messi by selling players, but the situation is worrisome.
Conflicts during the Bartomeu era caused Messi to lose confidence in Barcelona and became the trigger for his departure. Laporta after taking office had promised to renew Messi's contract, but now Messi's self-interest in the identity of the problem has become unresolved. The media pointed out that the two sides have not yet opened contract renewal negotiations, and the salary cap provisions of La Liga is the main obstacle.
Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Umtiti and Pjanic could be the subject of a purge, despite Umtiti's reluctance to leave. In addition, Laporta has been challenged to convince players to take a pay cut, with only Gerard Piqué showing cooperation. Laporta is under immense pressure to renew Messi's contract, and for the first time, his expression revealed his concern about keeping him.
