Lionel Messi will need to drop his salary expectations in order to re-join Barcelona in the summer, according to La Liga president Javier Tebas.
Messi's current PSG contract is set to expire in the summer, and 90min has learned that the iconic attacker is currently concentrating on trying to secure a transfer to Bara.
The relationship between Messi and PSG deteriorated further this past week as Les Parisiens were forced to suspend Messi for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. PSG has long anticipated that Messi will quit the club.
La Liga president Tebas said RMC that due to Barcelona's financial difficulties, the attacker will have to sign a deal worth far less than what he is now earning at PSG in order to make a sensational comeback to La Blaugrana.
"Lionel Messi's pay at Barcelona will be lower than it is at Paris Saint-Germain, if he signs there. Selling players is now a must for his comeback. Tebas predicted that Bara will profit significantly from player sales this summer.
90min is aware that Arsenal might be able to assist with the departures Tebas has cited as being essential.
Ferran Torres and Raphinha of Barcelona are at the top of Arsenal's shortlist as they look to add a right winger during the summer transfer window.
Although Messi has been given the opportunity to extend his contract, PSG management has long accepted that the Argentine will leave at the conclusion of the current campaign. Messi's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer.
Since then, Messi has angered his bosses with an unauthorized vacation to Saudi Arabia that resulted in the club suspending him. Given the current state of Messi's relationship with PSG, 90min understands it is still possible that the Argentinean will never play for PSG again.
The head of La Liga makes a strong statement over Lionel Messi's alleged return to Barcelona.
