Tebas’ big announcement for Messi’s return

This week, Barça announced the departure of Sergio Busquets at the end of his contract in June. And if we do not yet know his destination, Saudi Arabia appears in pole position to secure the services of the Spanish midfielder. Two readings are then proposed. Either this departure to the Gulf appears as an invitation to Lionel Messi to join him in this new adventure, or it allows Barça to free up payroll and thus hope to find the funds to see the Argentinian return to Catalonia. Invited to speak on this subject, Javier Tebas, the sulphurous president of La Liga, explained that this departure could indeed participate in the return of La Pulga.

“They still have a long way to go”

“The departure of Busquets is the start of the road to Messi’s return… But to get to the end, they still have a long way to go. It’s not me who’s going to give them the green light, this will be their economic control”, he explained on the COPE waves. Before the announcement of the departure of Sergio Busquets, the leader had clearly announced that it was impossible to see Lionel Messi return to Barça if the finances of the team remained there. But with the departure of Busi, and the possibility of Jordi Alba, everything finally seems possible. For its part, Saudi Arabia would offer an extraordinary contract of one billion euros. An offer far superior to what FC Barcelona could offer.
