The Argentine striker had to take a huge pay cut at the Catalan club.
The media have learned the details of Lionel Messi’s contract if he returns to Barcelona. According to Diario Sport, the Argentine striker will have to significantly moderate his financial appetites and take a pay cut.
Due to financial difficulties and the ceiling set by La Liga, the Catalans can no longer afford to pay the striker a large sum of money.
Now, for the season, the management of the “blue garnet” is ready to give Messi clean hands only 25 million euros, which is 4 times less than what he received under the previous contract before moving to PSG.
If the striker agrees, in this case, the agreement will be signed for two seasons until 2025, however, the current world champion has the right to terminate the contract in 2024.
At the same time, Barcelona will definitely have to part with a number of players to be able to bring the legendary striker back to the team camp.
It will be remembered that the 35-year-old Argentine’s contract with PSG expires next summer. So, he can move to another club for free. He has made 35 appearances in all competitions for Paris this season, scoring 20 goals and providing 18 assists.
Earlier, the President of Barcelona confirmed to the fans Messi’s return to the team.
