Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, is now a free agent after
his current contract with the club expired today, June 30.
Although the 34-year-old is expected to agree fresh terms
with the LaLiga giants, he can easily sign for another club as of today without
any obstacles.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have previously
shown interest in Messi.
The player is currently away on international duty with
Argentina at the Copa America and is expected to put pen to paper on a two-year
deal with Barca when he returns
LaLiga president, Javier Tebas, has warned Barcelona they
might not be able to register Messi next season, if they don’t reduce their
wage bill.
Tebas insists the Catalans must ensure they remain within
the league-imposed salary cap.
Before the outbreak of COVID-19, Barcelona had the largest
cap in Spain’s top flight in 2019/2020 at €671 million.
However, LaLiga’s new limit for the 2020/2021 season is
€382.7m.
