Lionel Messi: Barcelona star agrees to stay on reduced wages

Lionel Messi has agreed to stay at Barcelona on a deal until 2026 that includes reducing his wages to half of his previous salary.

The announcement is dependent on player departures that will allow Barca to fund the Argentina captain's wages.

Messi, 34, was a free agent after his contract - that reportedly paid him £123m a season - expired on 30 June.

He is on holiday after winning the Copa America and the finer details of the contract are yet to be finalised.

Re-signing Messi was the principal summer target of new chairman Joan Laporta.

Barca are also looking at a swap deal involving forward Antoine Griezmann and Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, with the idea of reducing the wage bill.

Fringe players such as Junior Firpo, Jean-Clair Todibo and Carles Alena have already been sold to free up budget but other big-name departures will also need to take place.

Messi had been linked with moves to Paris St-Germain and Manchester City, where he would be reunited with his former boss at Barcelona Pep Guardiola, as well as America's Major League Soccer, which he has previously considered experiencing.

Messi is Barcelona's record scorer with 672 goals and has won 10 La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, seven Copa del Reys as well as claiming the Ballon d'Or on a record six occasions.

【Now Sports】終於有好消息！美斯基本上同意續約巴塞隆拿，有機會在今月底宣佈。
西班牙《Diario Sport》周三報道，美斯（Lionel Messi）與巴塞隆拿基本上已經達成續約協議，雙方只需要傾妥餘下部份細節，但由於合約十分繁複，相信在今月底才會正式簽約。

由於金錢一直都未是今次續約傾判的重點，所以美斯同意減人工達50%，相信能夠減輕巴塞的財政負擔。至於合約年期長至5年，即是說當球王完成合約時已經39歲。賣斷條款則為3.5億歐元。

美斯早前帶領阿根廷國家隊贏得美洲盃，終於打破國際大賽錦標荒，現時正在休假。34歲的他上季為巴塞上陣47場攻入38球，在上月底已經約滿巴塞，回復自由身。

約薪一半⋯⋯⋯⋯

其實美斯真係好愛巴塞。

Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirms to @elchiringuitotv: “Everything is going well for Leo Messi’s new contract”. 🔵🔴 #FCB

Just a matter of days, then everything will be completed. 🇦🇷 #Messi

大巴黎竟然唔出手

Lionel Messi will sign a new contract and play for Barcelona. It’s just a matter of time, days, hours... there’s NO DOUBT. 🔵🔴 #FCB

Leo Messi, only Barça.

美斯唔續約

OFFICIAL 左離隊

"Despite an agreement having been reached between FC Barcelona and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, it cannot be formalised due to economic and structural obstacles (Spanish La Liga regulations)

                    

Messi was in Barcelona to sign the contract 🇦🇷

No tension - total agreement & announcement scheduled.

Barça told Leo they’re blocked by La Liga & not able to sign now.

Issues also with other players.

Messi appreciated Laporta’s honesty.

PSG already started direct contacts 🇫🇷 https://t.co/O0BBEZYU57
