Rivaldo: "Barca" made a mistake by not selling L. Messi.

Former "Barcelona" striker Rivaldo commented on the current situation of the team. The Catalan club is drowning in debt and cannot even dream of expensive purchases. "Barcelona's" financial situation was not good due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it worsened last year and considering the almost inevitable departure of L. Messi, the team may need to sell several important players to generate some income," clarified Rivaldo. "As I mentioned before, 'Barcelona' leaders made a mistake by not selling the Argentine when he was still tied to the contract. Something similar had been done in the past by Madrid's 'Real,' who, parting ways with Cristiano Ronaldo, received 100 million euros," the Brazilian affirmed.
