Lionel Messi to leave Barcelona: Argentina captain won't sign new contract
Barcelona have announced that Lionel Messi will leave the club after financial problems prevented them from agreeing with the forward on a new contract.
However, Barca have been unable to register Messi's new contract with LaLiga while complying with the league's financial fair play rules.
Spanish clubs must comply with a spending limit, which includes money spent on salaries and signings, determined by LaLiga.
Barca's spending stood at over €600 million before the coronavirus pandemic but was reduced to €347m last season and is expected to be slashed even further for the upcoming campaign.
