MESSI SET TO EXIT BARCELONA, AS CLUB SAYS IT WON'T BREAK THE BANK TO KEEP THE STAR AND TALENTED PLAY-MAKER.

There is panic at the Camp Nou ahead of the 2018 when Lionel Messi’s contract will expire. The club’s inability to offer the 5-time world footballer of the year an improved contract could see the player leave the club.
Lionel Messi's long-term future at Barcelona is back in the spotlight after the club's director Oscar Grau suggested they will not break the bank and cave into the superstar's wage demands.


Luis Suarez and Neymar have signed new deals at Barcelona worth around £21m-a-year but it is speculated that Messi wants to become the highest paid player at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona have the second largest wage bill in the world behind Manchester United and Grau has indicated that they will have to play hardball over negotiations with Messi.

The Barca director also appeared to contradict himself when he went on to say: "We will find the way, I am sure, but we have to make the numbers add up.

"The club wants the best player in the world to stay at Barca. I would like to ease the concerns of club members and supporters but we have to use common sense."

The 29-year-old, who has scored 26 goals in 23 appearances in all competitions this season, reportedly earns about £19m a year currently.

Messi has 18 months left to run on his existing deal and talks regarding a new improved contract remain ongoing.
The deals to secure the futures of Suarez and Neymar have stretched Barca's budget and they are edging closer to the 70 per cent limit that La Liga place on club's wage costs.

There are speculations that the player may not extend his contract at the club following alleged tax fraud he was involved in 2016. As recalled that the Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and his father Jorge were sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud; but as the sentence was short of two years, and neither Lionel nor Jorge had a criminal record, they were not required to serve any jail term.

None of the Super Eagles players has received allowances or a $10,000 bonus. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hoping to prevent a strike before the match in Egypt on Wednesday. “My player [Ahmed Musa] couldn’t attend the press conference today because they have a very important meeting,” said coach Gernot Rohr. “I just hope the situation can be resolved so we can focus on what we have in front of us.” The squad was an hour late for training on Tuesday and have not ruled out taking further action. The financially stricken NFF, which receives its funding from the government, has denied it was responsible for the delay in paying the players’ bonuses.
