Barcelona are very close to having their financial viability plan approved by La Liga ahead of the summer window.
As per Gerard Romero, La Liga will green-light the plan on Friday (19 May) and give them the go-ahead to start preparations for Lionel Messi’s return next season.
After getting the go-ahead, it’s all on Barca to start plotting the finances and table their offer to Leo over a return.
After that, Messi will have to make a final decision on whether he wants a return to his boyhood club or not.
Apart from Leo, Barca are also aiming to strengthen other areas of their team – including the midfield. Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan are reportedly their top targets.
