Messi can return if Barcelona raise €100m in sales - report

Barcelona will reportedly get the green light from La Liga to re-sign Lionel Messi in the summer if they can raise €100 million in sales.

Catalunya Radio are reporting that Javier Tebas is pretty keen to have Messi back in the Spanish top flight and will approve Barca’s ‘feasibility plan’ if they raise funds first.

The number mentioned is €100m and Barca are said to be fairly confident they can hit that figure, probably by selling either Raphinha or Ansu Fati.

A separate report from Catalunya Radio reckons Newcastle or Chelsea are both keen on Raphinha, who knows the Premier League well from his time at Leeds.
