„Barcelona“ symbol Lionel Messi cannot expect a massive former salary. As stated by the head of „La Liga“ championships Javier Tebas, the Catalans will not be able to continue "feeding" money to the player who has become a free agent. "It will be impossible for the player to sign a new contract under the previous conditions. This is an unbearable task, but hardly any European club could afford such money. We always want to have the best players in „La Liga“, but even with Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo gone, we do not stop growing. Meanwhile, the championships of Italy and France do not strive to the top as they would like," clarified J. Tebas. It was also announced that the newcomer to „Barcelona“ Memphis Depay will be forced to reduce his salary before even arriving at the club and will receive less than 5 million euros instead of 7.
