According to information from La Sexta’s Los Jugones program, FC Barcelona is allegedly studying the possibility of selling Messi after the upcoming World Cup. The club’s leadership sees this as an opportune moment to take action, potentially capitalizing on Messi’s peak form to finance the construction of a new stadium and alleviate financial pressures.
The decision to explore Messi’s sale is said to have been initiated by former president Sandro Rosell, although current president Josep Maria Bartomeu has not dismissed the idea. However, it’s worth noting that this proposal is not unanimously supported within the Barcelona management team.
While Messi remains deeply attached to Barcelona, the possibility of his departure underscores the complexities of modern football economics and the financial pressures faced by even the biggest clubs in the world.
