Barça already has the approval of LaLiga to its economic viability plan for the next two seasons and that was on the table of the body chaired by Javier Tebas for a couple of weeks. With this resolution, the Barcelona entity will be able to register both the players who have already reached an agreement with the club to renew their respective contracts and carry out new additions.

Thus, the club will finally be able to register Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Marcos Alonso, Iñaki Peña and Sergi Roberto and advance in the market options it has on the table, among which its proposal to Leo Messi to return to the Barça discipline stands out.

This Monday the father and agent of the player, Jorge Messi, held a meeting with the president of Barça, Joan Laporta, to definitively open the door to this option. After the meeting, the father of the footballer spoke very briefly with the media and assured that the great priority of his son is to return to a club from which he left in a traumatic way almost two years ago, after his very delicate economic situation frustrated the possibility of renewing it and led him to stop at a PSG from which he has already announced his next separation.

To present a formal offer, the Barcelona entity needed the OK of LaLiga to its viability plan, a procedure that they were convinced would be achieved, but that has not been made official until this Tuesday.

Barça's proposal, in this case, will have to compete with the multimillion-dollar offer that has been put on the table to the Argentine Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, with around 400 million euros per season, and that of Inter Miami, of the US Major League Soccer, one of whose maximum shareholders is the former Real Madrid player David Beckham.

The possible return of Leo Messi, on the other hand, could be accompanied by a series of additions among which would also highlight that of Íñigo Martínez, who was already on the Barça agenda last year and who ends his contract with Athletic on June 30, or that of Ilkay Gundogan, who also ends his commitment to Manchester City as soon as this season ends.

The German, at the moment, does not seem to be for the work of accepting the proposal of three more years of contract that the English club is offering, which will play next weekend the final of the Champions League with Inter Milan in Istanbul.
