La Liga president Javier Tebas appealed the only way Manchester City Football Club could sign Lionel Messi is through 'financial doping'. Messi became a free agent on July 1 and although the Argentine is keen to continue at Barcelona, the Catalan club cannot offer him a new deal due to their financial difficulty.

Texas lined out La Liga relaxing their Financial Fair Play rules to let the six-time Ballon d'Or winner break at the Nou Camp, saying Messi must take a considerable pay cut. He also warned Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain that their new financial losses mean they would be powerless to match the Argentine's previous salary.

"He won't be able to sign on the previous circumstances, that's impossible," supposed Tebas. "I don't ponder any European club would be able to pay that amount.

"If they do, it will be the financial nobbling. I've told Guardiola this too. I've directly supposed that to him, 'would you have won as many titles deprived of as much financial doping?'

When the CAS let off Manchester City there were a lot of comments about that. Mourinho and all these other coaches supposed this. If this happens I think it would be unbelievable. This is the kind of governance where we should found minutes. This economic doping is what is damaging football. For more to know About Manchester City vs Liverpool Tickets.

It is not real money that's involved since it is not made by the clubs. If the money in the football industry isn't produced by football, it just causes a rise. And it's a bad type of inflation. Then it just ruins football as the clubs have to put in all this exertion which is well above their financial volume.

We need to fight in contradiction of this and we will continue to do this all the time. This is one of our pending matters in If it's not resolved soon, European football could lead us to a very complex financial situation.

It is not the first time Tebas has meant at Manchester City and PSG. In 2017 he also suspects them of "financial doping" while last April he called for better controls within football to check the power of the "state-owned clubs".

Messi has helped director Argentina to the Copa America final and on Saturday will play against hosts Brazil hopeful to win a first major trophy with his country. But his club future still needs to be stable with the La Liga season initial again in five weeks. Tebas said the only way for Barca to keep their captain was to get rid of more players, having lately sold left-back Junior Firpo to Leeds United and USA international Konrad de la Fuente to Marseille.

"If no player leaves, it's impossible," he added.

Presently, Football Club Barcelona, like other clubs, has gone over the game team limit that was recognized by the Liga due to the pandemic. But in those particular cases when they've gone over it, we have a rule called one by four. So we allow them to sign on new players when they abridged the current wage bill. The rule is for each euro that they want to use for sign-ups, they have to save four.
