What it will take to convince Lionel Messi to remain at Barcelona
#5 Financial Security Despite Barca’s Financial Crisis
Barcelona are in a financial crisis, with the club reportedly being under 500 million euros in debt. Messi is not oblivious of this situation but at the same time, the Argentine only has a few years left on his professional career. Add to that the fact that he is not really a public figure like Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar, which leaves football as his main source of income.
He understands the situation but it is unlikely that he would agree with a pay cut. If Catalans can keep him on the same wages but pay over a longer period of time, that should be acceptable by the Argentine. Otherwise, he could just move to Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City where they will keep him on very lucrative contracts. It might be tough for the club financially but Messi generates a lot of revenue for the club and once the stadiums are fully opened, they will be back on their feet in no time.
