The momentum of La Liga paves the way for Messi's renewal
The agreement announced this Wednesday by La Liga with the international CVC fund to inject 2. 700 millions of euros in the competition and the clubs paves the way for Barcelona to renew the Argentine Leo Messi, since he will contribute some 550 million euros to the Barça coffers.
The Catalan club, as EFE has learned from sources close to La Liga, will enter around 250 million euros thanks to the injection of CVC and will be able to invest the 15% directly in the game dedicated to the template, that is, around 40 millions of euros.

The entry of that new flow of money is an oxygen balloon for FC Barcelona and for its president , Joan Laporta, who It will be much easier now to sign Messi again, still on vacation and without a contract, and to register both the Argentine and the rest of the incorporations in La Liga.
The agreement must be ratified this Wednesday in the Commission of legacy of La Liga and in the CVC Investment Committee, so the economic injection is not yet confirmed, although its verification seems to be a question of time.
Beyond the sports field, Clubs must invest a 70 % of the money they receive in infrastructure and the other 15% in refinancing their debt and alleviating the economic damage caused by the covid pandemic – 19, another aspect in which Barcelona has many duties to do.

In any case, Messi’s renewal would give Laporta a lot of oxygen, who has always had the Argentine as a priority, and would materialize the “wet dreams” that the president claimed to have when he thinks of the forward at night.
Once Barcelona solves Messi’s mess , must see if the money from La Liga and CVC is enough for more signings , after Laporta revealed this Monday that he needed more margin in the financial fair-play to have “more possibilities of incorporating some more signings”.
At the moment and waiting for your ’10 ‘ , Barça have signed four players this summer: Emerson Royal, Eric García, Sergio Agüero and Memphis Depay.
