If Barcelona increases sales by €100 million, Messi may come back.
If Barcelona can generate €100 million in sales, La Liga will reportedly give them the go-ahead to re-sign Lionel Messi in the summer.
According to Catalunya Radio, Javier Tebas is very eager for Messi to return to the Spanish top division and will approve Barca's "feasibility plan" if they raise money first.
The sum suggested is €100m, and according to reports, Barca is very convinced they can reach it by selling either Raphinha or Ansu Fati.
According to a different report from Catalunya Radio, Raphinha, who is familiar with the Premier League from his time at Leeds, is a target for either Newcastle or Chelsea.
Multiple Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in Raphinha, fueling speculation regarding the Brazilian's impending summer move.
Despite previous rumors that Messi was planning to move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season, the article claims that he is actually eager to return.
Messi prefers to play for Xavi's team and will only join the Saudi Pro League if he is unable to return to Barcelona.
