It is not surprising that the news of the departure of Argentine star Lionel Messi from Barcelona remains in the headlines of the Spanish press, although days have passed since the confirmation of the departure of the "Bulga".

And Barca president Juan Laporta had talked about the impossibility of renewing the Argentine star's contract, blaming the team's previous management and its financial mismanagement.

According to the Spanish newspaper, “La Vanguardia”, the reason for renewing Messi’s contract is also due to the Catalan team’s refusal to accept the League agreement with the American Investment Fund (CVC), which Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League, presented to Laporta during a dinner that brought the two parties together on the 14th. from last month.

The agreement secures 2.7 billion euros in investments for La Liga, including 15% that can be used to sign players and pay their wages.

The agreement would have given Barcelona an additional 40 million euros, which means that the Blaugrana would receive Tebas' support to extend Messi's contract and register him in the La Liga list.

But Laporta - as he explained yesterday, Friday - did not want to mortgage the club's future for many years to come in order to ensure the continuity of one player, even if he was the best in the world.

Tebas revealed that he had dinner with Laporta in the middle of last month, and explained to him - at that time - the agreement with the American Investment Fund, claiming that Laporta had "a lot of enthusiasm" at the time about the agreement.
