The agreement would not have been possible without Messi's halving of his salary, and the economic assistance the team received from La Liga through the American Investment Fund (CVC).

Despite this, Barcelona is still working on reducing his salary bill further, as required by the League.

As a result, Barcelona and La Liga will retain one of the most valuable players in the world.

Messi, who has won 6 Golden Balls and 6 Golden Boots, will start his 18th season in La Liga, as he looks to consolidate his place in the record books.
