When Joan Laporta was elected as Barcelona president earlier in 2021 he made it his priority to renew Lionel Messiâs contract. Yet only a few days before his contract is due to expire no developments have come to life.
So Tifo asks, whatâs going on with Messi and Barcelona?

Why won't they give him stock in Barca?
The fact that making a Messi statue is used as an incentive is ridiculous, Messi deserves a statue no matter what
maybe change the academy name to La Messi'ah ?
@@HenSt-gz7qj Genius!
But don't let the same guy make the statue for Messi as he did for Ronaldo
Theyâre gonna make one either way, its just written in the contract to show they appreciate him
We deserve to witness his genius elsewhere. As for uprooting his kids and relocating his family, that is the real decider!
Feel like the offer of a statue is a bit silly given that he'll probably get one anyway. Played for Barcelona for over 15 years for most of which he's probably been the best player in the world, and won a crazy haul of trophies. If that's not a statue I'm not sure what a statue even means đ€·ââïž
maybe change the academy name to La Messi'ah XD
A statue is a carved or cast figure of a person or animal, life-size or larger. Looking out for you, mate đđŒ
It's a bigger deal than most think. Only 2 players have statues (and until recently only 1). The first was Kubala (who some old folks still insist was better than Messi). He's responsible for growing the fan base so much that they had to build camp nou (hence the statue).
The second is Johan Cruyff who had his erected after passing away. And we know what kind of impact he's had in the club.
So for non-socis it seems an empty gesture but it's actually huge
Some ppl thought that Messi would get one after espai Barça was built since his playing generated so much income that we wanted to update and rebuild the stadium but alas the last board was so bad that they never fully got the project started.
Hope this helps!
If he leaves barca, he'll get a statue by the same artist that did ronaldo's statue =)
@@thelongtrombone3528 plz. Messi is by far the best/most popular player in the history of the club. He could drive a bus through a crowd and still get a statue.
I can understand his frustration. The club was run to the ground by their old president, and any player will naturally want to win trophies and end his/her career on a high rather than stay at a team in transistion. I think after all of his services to Barcelona, he deserves to make that decision.
And heâll win trophies at Barcelona.
@@prometheustv6558 as a manager after 15 years but not as a player now
@@mendesarmy5930 Heâll 100% win trophies for Barcelona

@@prometheustv6558 When? Barcelona is not going to compete for the UCL title for at least 3 years
One source who knows him and his family well. Proceeds to put a silhouette really looks like Ronaldo xD
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Ronaldo could be a family friend for all we know!
đđđ
They use the same lawyer for tax evasion
Ronaldo being the family friend will be the big plot twist of this whole Messi saga. đ
"Erecting a statue was under consideration" they'd be the biggest frauds if they didn't put up a statue of arguably the greatest player of their history.
Or the biggest fools.
Knowing Barca, they will pay 30 mil for the statue, scrap it for not being good enough, then realise that they're broke again
I don't think it's even an argument tbh, Johann Cruyff isn't far off but Messi is just levels above everyone.
In history not just their history
@@Travis015 he means Ronaldo,the first one.
Id take him at Palace
But will messi take palace đ€
Only if he can do it on a cold, windy night in Stoke đ

âŹ100 million a year is no longer feasible
Let me play a song for Barcelona on the worlds smallest violin
A single player with that much of money does it make sense still??
@@nishantnaik9543 yes if he hard carries your team in almost every match and brings 3 times more revenue than he earns đ
That story of the "3 times money than what he earns" is something an idiot called Marc Ciria said and everybody repeats without understanding. He attributes only to Messi the money earned for winning a game or title in which he participated in the goal creation. What does that mean? It means the other 10 players are not included in the equation and their contribution is âŹ0 as if this is not a sports team. Think about it, how does Pique, Busquets or Ter Stegen are not included or put into a different equation to determine their contribution. This is football, not boxing or tennis.The "genius" of Marc Ciria also said Barca should not pay the salaries of Coutinho and Griezmann to save money and let them sue the club. Suggesting something like this just shows how clueless and out of touch with football you really are, because there will be severe repercussions for the club.
@@edd0f what he means by that is when you think of Barca the first name that comes to mind is Messi, not pique not busquets nor Griezmann. Now tell me would you buy a Barca shirt, merchandise or even give a f*** if Messi is out, well not me. Not saying Pique or Busquets or the other players do not deserve merit and recognition but all the old players from their dominant times have gone out and retired and the new players underperforming, not integrating with the squad and riddled with injuries. We know Messi has been at the front and was their picture boy for over 15 years even during the times of Ronaldinho, Xavi, David Villa, Iniesta......so of course Barca is trying to hold on to that last existing reminder of the glory days and one that performs to that level to this day and still brings significant revenue to the club......
But i may be an idiot or out of touch with football, so take it with a pinch of salt....đ
@@edd0f more than 3 barca presidents have claimed that sponsorship contracts and ticket sales, two of the biggest contributors to Barca's revenue, are heavily contingent on messi. Rakuten has refused to renew their contract with barca for more than a year since there is uncertainty about messi. I get that you may not like Messi, but he's the most bankable star in football. He fills the most stadiums, sells the most shirts and gets the most money, simple as that.
La Liga will certainly let the FFP rules bend backwards to keep Messi. La Liga has been loosing top names on football to other leagues and Messi's departure is anything they would like.
It's not helping their case if Barcelona keeps bringing players while asking them to let Messi be registered. BTW, the new players at the moment, can't be registered until more players are sold to balance the books.
When they tried to stop Neymar move to PSG that was just ridiculous
They didn't.
The orator sounds so reliable. If he told me my wife was cheating, I would believe it.

There goes my dream of Messi & CR7 playing in the same team
Quat... I mean psg could unite them in their team with all their "sponsor" money
Dream of all of us
Under bielsa. And perhaps ramos too :O
What about inter Miami?
Bruh
Unless Pique Tweets "SE QUEDA", Barca will be fine.
Tifo should combine with statsbomb and fbref (like messi peak goalscoring video) to make more advanced statistical videos on underrated players. This would give better coverage to viewers who didn't know about some underrated players.
A statue for the greatest player ever is used as an INCENTIVE for contract negotiations?! Thatâs ludicrous, he should get one regardless
He should have one built already tbh
Iâm surprised that he doesnât have one I think Ronaldo (which ronaldo deserves a statue tbh )has one thatâs bizarre
Barca are rebuilding with free agents right now and are in a state of flux, with his retirement not too far away; Leo should force a move to win trophies and end his career on a high, he deserves it after all his service to the club.
I think the biggest issue is where is he gonna go?
Where would he go tho.
Usa
He would go to MAN city
@@kohchungwei Did you watch the video?
Messiâs wage demands are so ridiculous that Barcelona would honestly be better off getting rid of him and using the money to get a few world class players and still they could have upwards of 50million a year freed up. Although Messi is of course the best player ever, the financial aspect and poor performance of the team in recent years cannot justify paying so much to one individual, the team cannot suffer due to exorbitant wages paid to ageing (although outstanding) players.
Bruh say that to Ronaldo and neymar
Can't say but think that he absolutely deserves every penny he earns at the club. But what the intermediate solution would be is to sell Coutinho, and all the deadweights that the club owns. Pjanic, Firpo, Roberto, Umititi, Braithwaite and possibly reduce the wage cut of Griezmann. That should do the books for the club.
The Messi brand is 50 percent (if not more) of Barcelona's revenues.
this is what happens when the player is bigger than the club. Laporta will still offer him a huge contract, but divided by 10 years. This means Messi will be retired and still receiving a paycheque from Barcelona for years that could be used for transfers. If Barca's fans say he deserves every penny, then so be it. R. Madrid will have the way clear to sign the next Haaland or next Mbappe.
@@czarmorte721 Bruh,What are you talking about?
Neymar took a paycut from 40 million to 30 million for 5 years. Has more bonuses for UCL win
Imagine being in the dressing room with messi and the club ask you to take a pay cut in order to try and keep messi at the club, Iâd tell them to stick it seems like a bit of a slap in the face. I also love how Barca have been flaunting ffp for so long itâs finally caught up with them and they are asking for a break, you mean like LeganĂ©s got when you poached him outside of a transfer window all but sealing their relegation.
I'm pretty sure they don't talk directly to the players but their agents. đ
@@TheJulienne21 and the agents keep it a secret? I donât see how that changes anything
Took me way too long to realise 'Messi' in the TN was a pun
Whats the TN?
@@thefantorangster2491 thumbnail
What's a pun?
How do I comment?
@@piyushbansal9716 it's a play on words like when it means 'Messy' but they use Messi
Erecting a Statue should be out of heart, not an incentive... Regardless of whether Messi stays or leaves, if Camp Nou doesn't have a Messi statue, it would show the kind of club Barca is.
He already made his point to the world, he is a legend. Also whats up gunner fan, we at Dinamo knocked out your rival Tottenham xd
He's already gonna get one anyways, its not really a incentive. It's just an add on.
Congratulations with youâre 1 mil subs love youâre content keep it up
Meanwhile Boca Juniors are thinking that trying to sign Messi isnât unrealistic.
Well he's argentinian and a free agent so why not
In the worst case scenario he will just decline
Million pound a week wages?
â@@Jackcrypto101 Obviously Boca isn't going to pay that
No he said he wants to play for Newell Old boys before he retires as that's where his career started and that's where it will end.
@@kylesosa3562 Wasn't it the Newell's Old Boys?
Great to see Tifo opload videos almost daily that too on interesting topics
Congratulations on completing 1K videos đ„łđ„łđ„ł
Don't really get what they meant by "balancing out" the squad when Barca is still buying players at the wrong side of their 20's (or 30-ish)
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There's a big difference between spending 150 million on pjanic, vidal, and paulinho, and getting both aguero and depay for free transfers. Not to mention barca signed eric garcia and emerson this summer, both exciting youngsters, with players like pau torres and jose gaya being targeted. Laporta is also guaranteeing that either dembele or griezmann will leave this year, with braithwaite, pjanic, and hopefully coutinho also leaving as well. There's a clear shift in squad management under Laporta and you have to be completely blind not to see that.
Imagine Messi & Ronaldo moving to PSG during this window
Hope we see them play together before their time is up
Its not gonna happen
Impossible they are good in relationship on social media but in both of there mind they are still enemies.

I got an exclusive source that says Messi has already signed a contract
with San Jose Earthquakes and that he will play in the MLS next season
how exclusive is this ?
@@cristoldsouza521 âjust trust him broâ tier level
Glad this happen. The increasing amount of money in footballers wages have to hit a ceiling at one point. 100k pound per week used to be only for the very elite players/best of their generation, but now that's normal for squad players at big clubs, with regular starters at these clubs getting 200k-300k (per week !!!). Messi/CR7 rumored wages of >500k per week do dwarf these numbers, but they arguably can be considered as exception considering their unbelievable achievements. They should be treated as outlier rather than benchmark.
The other side of the argument is that footballers bring in the money. Money in football has blown up so, If the money doesnât go to them it will simply go towards owners. Under sensible management this isnât a problem. Since there will be a budget in place.
Erling Haaland doesn't agree
maybe there should be a wage cap rule, and the rest can be given as bonuses.
@@ronanoconnor-prow6525 Sensible management is what Florentino Perez is doing and telling their stars who think they are bigger than the club and want to hold the club to ransom to earn more money, the door is right there. At Barcelona, they increased wages and extended contracts to everybody while saying "we generate more revenue than everyone else in Europe" and then when a pandemic hits and the money is not coming, those wages are a huge burden no longer sustainable. If the fans understand this, they would not say "give him what he wants"
Imagine Messi and Ronaldo both went to PSG. Expensive for the Qataris but would certainly turn a lot of global headsđ
He earned âŹ555m for 4 years, His wages are so high that he will have to take a 90% cut to earn double of Aguero. Think it's actually better for him to leave, for both parties. Bartomeu didn't want to be the president who let Messi go, but everyone will remember it was him who was so corrupt and greedy that he decimated comfortably one of the biggest clubs in the world to the ground
Great video as always, but sadly you guys still got the Brazilian map wrong again. I don't want you guys to keep on hearing my complaints over and over, but I felt it was necessary to point it out again.
Cheers
This is giving me Fifa Manager 11 Nam Flashbacks. I had 3 of the worlds best defenders(After Training) Playing a back 3 on Tottenham and they wanted me to sign someone better then them or they would not extend their contracts. I had 2 other Young subs who could Replace them with a 1-2% skill difference. They wanted me to sign Pique or Sergio Ramos...to improve our 0.2 goals per game defense.
Sell 11 players to keep Messi. classic Barcelona
Pjanic , Firpo , Coutinho , Umtiti , Braithwaite etc dont even start at Barcelona . Why keep their expensive wages on the books . Pedri , Araujo , Mingueza , Fati , Moriba have all emerged from the B team and taken these spots last season .
@@user-jp3hc4ux4e Moriba is not ready for 1st team football, Koeman basically forced him into the squad because of his dislike of Puig and Pjanic. I agree with the rest, although I have doubts about Mingueza.
@@user-jp3hc4ux4e Some of these players Barcelona want to off, have long term contracts. Its not that easy, Barcelona are in a bind right now.

4:02 "one source" and all I see is Cristiano. I can't unsee it đ
I would like to see what he could do in another league... The mind always wonders how would he play on a cold rainy tuesday in stoke
The same way he's played for Argentina at the World Cup
@@HOLDENHIPHOP so... really good, then. cool.
He's already scored a lot of goals against English clubs in the ucl so it probably won't be that hard for him
@Kodak Guy no
He would simply fade away in a cold wet night in stoke.
Hope the change of the board can convince him to stay.
Love you Messi....
And one thing also advance birthday wishes from your dearest fan.....
ROVIN......
Love uu
I hope he leaves just so itâs a financial reset for them. N he gets to play at a lower level for his final years
What happened to the song at the end?? Already moving on to 2 million subs
Messi is already a multi millionaire many times over, plus is already a club legend at Barca. If I was Messi, I'd help the club by taking a pay cut for my twilight years and finish my career at Barca.
Iâm sure he thought about it but I think the deal they propose was not good at all. The issue with the FC Barcelone must be inefficient management and somehow, Messi should not pay for this since he is already contributing for 1/3 of Barcelona revenue. They have to restructure their management team!
Who's watching this after Laporta's press conference about Messi leaving?
Here after Barca let go of Messi đđ
Biggest Messi fan around, but after it's all said and done, he needs to accept that mistakes made can not be taken back and the guy in charge now is doing his best to clean house, all parties including Messi, who has been the very definition of what barca has been in the last decade should pull together for the love of the great cataln club,, if he leaves having successfully ushered barca into a new era it will be very nice.. Either way barca will always be grateful and indebted to the little genius for all the years of his magic on the pitch
Messi leaving Barca because of financial issues would be one of the saddest moments in football
Correction: because of the bad decisions taken by the clubâŠ
Let's all have moments silence for poor Barcelona and their finances đ€Łđ€Ł

Remember when messi signed new contracts every 6 months and everybody said "why does he renew his contract if we all know that he'll play there forever?"
Looking at Barcelona's debts and financial prospects, it would only be sentiment driving Messi if he chose to stay on with a paycut, even if future income is offered. Not farfetched to imagine paying interest on ÂŁ1bil of loans will be backbreaking

I would like to see Barcelona not be given leniency. It would be interesting to see them figure out how to get back to glory days despite this huge debt
He just left Barcelona....I wonder where he'll end up after Barcelona.
I wonder if the board will take a pay cut
There's one other factor - the European Super League. Despite being called off, Bacelona - along with Real Madrid and Juventus, have yet to officially withdraw the project. And UEFA has already announced plans for strict measures against all 12 clubs that announced their involvement in the project, but the most sever punishment UEFA is saving for those who are yet to withdraw - Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus. And those punishement could mean either transfer embargoes or even disqualifiction from UEFA-sanctioned tournaments such as the Champions League. And without Champions League game, this will be devastating for Barcelona and even though Swiss court stated that UEFA has no legal jurisdiction to bar any team from its competition, UEFA is perhaps ready to punish the ESL teams
They wonât be banned from the UCL, itâs confirmed
The Messi Barca financial contract situo is like owning a Bugatti on a civil servant salary, its financial haemorrhage thru the nose!!!
Iâm praying he doesnât renew itâs been a dream of mine to see Messi play for a Milan club. He 90% will renew though but I really want Messi on a Milan club.

3,4 years ago amy Club in the World would've flown to Barcelona for Messi's Sign.. Now it seems very unexciting.. We all know he will Stay...
Scene: Messi walks into Joan Laporta's office, only to find Joe Devine, singing, "welcome to the mega deal, Leo Messi's very own one-pound-per-month DEEEEEEAL!"
The one thing that stood out for me in this video, is that Braithwaite plays for Barca.
well, he signed a new contract now
Just how narcissistic would you have to be that a statue of yourself would be a sweetener for the deal? That's aside from the fact he will probably get a statue in due course anyway.
I think it's kind of a clause like "being paid", i mean of course it's gonna happen!
4:40 ... "covering not just the big clubs" Ha! when was the last time you talked about the marvelous Albanian master class club Teuta Durrës?
The problem is that if messi leaves barcelona will no longer be relevant for neutral fans unless they wanna see goat braithwaithe, but no more promo or tv deals + messi wants to compete as well đ„Žđ„Ž
Laporta cant pay messi and wants him to leave but is basically putting the decision in Messi's hands so he doesn't look like the bad guy that made Barca fans cry.
So in context would be a mere consequence of the actions of Bartomeu , now passed to the new president.
@@zelymvyst7203 Why not saying Messi is holding the club in ransom for many years forcing them to pay him something Barcelona can't afford.
@@edd0f but that would be a partial way of thinking. The amount of money on just revenues Messi creates to the club is above 300 million per year (I could be wrong) so the deal is created on that spectrum.
The situation that barça is currently on board is just because of a sadly and horrendous management of overload wages and also, having the maximum football jewel as Messi have been for barça.
Barcelona still has to pay Messi his loyalty bonus of ÂŁ33 Million from his 2017 ÂŁ555 million contract. which is to be paid in the 21-22 season so it's his new salary plus his bonus. Barcelona in my opinion can give him a contract that gives him 2 to 5% from Barcelona's future revenue from tickets sales and merchandise
It's either the Big English Clubs or PSG. Don't see anyone else affording him unless he just doesn't want to stay at Barca and agrees to take a paycut somewhere else
9th July - No Renewal
If La Liga could make an exception, I say barca should retire the #10 shirt or make it so only La Masia players can wear it like sevilla did with #16
Theyâll build him a statue offer him a coaching role and heâll take a big pay cut to stay with goal and trophy bonuses etc
Imagine he goes to Juventus. I know it's impossible because they can't pay both Ronaldo and Messi wages but imagine.
@@joevolcano6720 The two best players ever who were always rivals becoming teammates, i would so want to see this
Is it brazil or brasil ?
From 2017-2021 Messi's contract was worth âŹ555,237,619(you read that right Five Hundred and Fifty Five Million, Two hundred and Thirty Seven Thousand, Six Hundred and Nineteen euros)... That's how much Barca were paying Messi for just 4 years!, âŹ2 million a week. Messi is the highest paid athlete in all of world sports history ever, Nobody gets close. And quite frankly Messi is totally, absolutely not worth the âŹ555,237,619 that Barca payed him... smh :/. He's gonna bankrupt the club he claims he loves so much. Why Barca would agree to such an insane, ridiculous contract I'll never know, it has the knock on effect of other big name players also wanting a huge wage knowing that Messi is on insane money. It's completely unsustainable. The truth is nobody is worth that much money.
Yes, which is 117m per year. Interestingly enough, it was also reported last year that he generates 300m per year for the club just for playing for them! So no, heâs not bankrupting Barça, without him, weâd be much worse off financially
No way they are going to put MAtS out on sale
Can not see them selling Griezman
Imagine if messi and ronaldo sign for PSG. I dont care about how the club gets money. Just imagine Neymar - Ronaldo- Messi.
Messi applies Falcao's advice: "in times of Messi you have to look for money only!"
Messi be like I didn't like that kit meaning i will not renew contract
I hope he will stay. The hard part of getting Bartomeu out is done.
Eibar will miss him if he's gone
So they can't afford him. It happens. It's probably best for both if he moves on
It would be cool if he went to RM with Chris lol just imagine them on the same side , it would be what they deserve for how they are treated them with all there main guys leaving
No way Messi could go to RM out of loyalty. BUT, there's a chance that both could play for P$G
they should build not a puny statue but a stadium around the statue...
i think messi will leave barca after 2 years and prolly play in mls but he will return to the club for his last season and then retire at barca
Messi in Mls đđđđ
Only If he signs the new contract
They shouldn't be using the idea of building a statue for him as a bargaining chip tbh, he's already earned that with the years of service and results he has brought to the club
Messi to MLS would be nice, we need to keep buying amazing europeans at the end of their careers to help develop our league even note
Where is the money gonna come from tho? The highest the league has laid was 7 million I think. The league might have to take out a loan from a bank to sign him
How far has the mighty fallen
messi wants to leave, there you have it
He said heâd never leaveâŠâŠ.
"Strict" FFP rules and they and RM have a billion in debt.. what??
Where is your ronaldo and coca cola video was it subbed off
let's hope that messi goes to psg in the summer
Well, well, well.
I think after griezman entry Messi is insecured
If Messi becomes a free agent that's a massive L, they should've sold him when they had the chance
Thats facts they could of sold him for 150 mil or 100 mil but if they let him go he can leave for free đ€Šââïž
and then what? lose the astronomical revenues his presence makes for the club and turn into AC Milan?
look at real madrid: they should've moved the deadwoods on in Marcelo, Bale etc. but instead they refused to give a pay raise to Ronaldo that he genuinely deserved. now they are the one wetting themselves and trying to make runaway tournaments to make up for their financial loses

Tifo does a great job with this informational videos. However, I can't understand why they left out the fact that Barcelona just signed Sergio Aguero in order to entice Messi to stay. The Aguero signing is something Messi wanted, right?
