Barcelona beat Levante 1-0 in a league match at home. The Catalans have come out of the circle of the previous two rates. Ronald Koeman's team left the field with the victory of Lionel Messi's goal in the 6th minute of the match. Meanwhile, the Catalan club's presidential candidate Emily Rouzard has spoken about reducing Messi's salary and leaving the club.
He made it clear that Messi would have to make a decision to reduce his salary as Barcelona were in a financial crisis at the time. And if Messi is adamant in his decision not to take the salary as low as before, then he will have to leave the club.
We have to sit at the negotiating table with Messi and ask him to pay less," said Rousseau, who is running for president on January 24 and has won the Ballon d'Or six times.
We will ask Messi to accept some financial sacrifices for the club," he said. If Messi does not agree, he will have to leave the club. Messi has rewritten the history of Bara. We have full respect for him. But he has to understand the reality.
Rougeard hopes the situation will get better. And their eyes are on Bar a's interests. As president, they will focus on the club's interests, not on keeping Messi at a high salary. Manchester City have been working hard to sign Messi before the start of the season. Argentine legend Messi will be able to leave the club for free at the end of this season if he does not sign a new contract with Bara. Clubs like PSG and Inter Milan are also looking to take him to the team.
