LaLiga insists Messi cannot sign new Barcelona contract
After being found guilty of operating significantly over the league’s wage rulings, Barca were punished.
Barcelona are still unable to secure Lionel Messi’s future with a new deal, because of LaLiga’s refusal to make any concession, the UK Mirror reports.
This means they were not allowed to register new signings, except they cut down their wage bill.
Messi’s previous contract expired at the end of June, but he is ready to extend his 21-year stay.
However, LaLiga slapped Barca with the wage-related punishment in the period between the expiration of Messi’s previous contract and before he had the chance to sign a new one.
