Messi confirms that he is willing to cut his salary by up to 50% to stay at Barcelona

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi said his farewell to Barcelona in a state of emotion on Sunday (8/8). On that occasion, the 34-year-old player confirmed that he was willing to cut his salary by 50% in order to survive. In addition, Messi also promised to return to Barcelona.

One thing that hinders Barcelona from registering Lionel Messi as a player is the salary limit regulations from LaLiga. Barca can’t do much even though Messi wants to cut his salary by 50%.

Lionel Messi also emphasized, in fact there is no problem between him and Barcelona. The two parties have reached an agreement.

“There is no problem with Barcelona, really. I am fine with the club on every detail. We have an agreement on everything and I am sure to stay at Barcelona. However, it is not possible because of LaLiga rules,” Messi explained in a press conference.

“The news regarding Barcelona and Laporta asking me to reduce my salary by 30% on Thursday is completely false. It’s a lie,” Messi insisted.

“I offered to reduce the contract by 50%. Then, the club did not ask for anything more,” continued Messi.

Messi also guarantees that he will return to Barcelona in the future. La Pulga considers the Blaugrana to be his own home.

“I could not be more proud of what I did and lived in this city. I will return when i’m finished being abroad because this is our home and I also promised the children,” said Messi.

“I thank everyone who helped us. I grew up with the values of this club, winning myself with humility and respect.”

“I did it with everyone in this house and I hope it stays there, in addition to all that we have achieved,” added Lionel Messi.
