Barcelona ready to Pay messi wages with their secret plan
Barcelona are keen to re-sign Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and are ready to make a very tempting offer for the Argentine superstar, according to Diario Gol. Although Nasser Khelaifi hopes Messi will stay, his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires this year and the ongoing negotiations have yet to yield clear results.
Lionel Messi’s future at PSG looks uncertain following the French club’s Champions League quarter-final loss to Bayern Munich. This has sparked talk of Messi’s possible return to Camp Nou, although it seems unlikely that Barcelona will pay him a record-breaking salary given his dire financial situation.
🚨 One of the ways FC Barcelona can sign Messi: Offering him a €200,000/year salary, but then playing a tribute match — raising around €100M, all of which goes to Messi.@elnacionalcat [🥉] pic.twitter.com/M80y6gv8dM

But Joan Laporta has a strategy he’s already using on Dani Alves. Unlike what he earns elsewhere, Messi only makes around €200,000 a year, according to Madrid-based publication La Razon. But in return, the player will receive all the rewards earned during the Tribute Race.
According to Barcelona, this tribute game can bring in around 100 million euros, all of which belong to Messi except the salary. There are reports that Messi could be open to returning to Barcelona where he can reunite with his close partner and former team-mate Xavi, who is currently in charge of the Catalan giants. Lionel Messi has multi-million dollar offers if he decides not to return to Barcelona.
The man in David Beckham’s Miami squad appears to be the most promising and is said to be dreaming of signing him. Saudi Arabia are also looking to sign Messi from their country in a bid to reignite their rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently signed a £200m-a-season deal with Al Nassr.
In the end, the choice will be made by Messi, who has multiple possibilities in the last years of his football career. Still, Joan Laporta and Barcelona fans are hoping for a return of the greatest player in the club’s history.
