Zapping Our Mondial Top 10: Most lucrative jersey sponsorship deals
As Barca’s debt exceeds one billion euros, Messi’s non-extension has only shed light on a dire economic situation. Worse, according to Alfredo Martinez, the economic situation of the club would prevent it from validating the registrations of Memphis Depay or Sergio Agüero, the Barcelona recruits, because of the salary cap imposed by the Spanish league. Barça would then find themselves obliged to sell.
The real situation for Barcelona right now is that the registration of new signings cannot be guaranteed either, not just Messi. With the current regulations of the LFP there will be problems if they do not release players and chips. That is the harsh reality of Barcelona 2021-2022

to summarize
While Messi’s non-extension is due to Barca’s severe financial problems, they could have even more serious consequences. Faced with the salary restrictions of the Spanish league, the club would not even be able to validate the registrations of Memphis Depay or Sergio Agüero.
