There has been a current financial situation at Camp Nou due to which Barcelona can’t register any of their new signings, Eric Garcia, Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay. They are also finding it hard to renew Messi’s contract.

Lionel Messi’s contract, which ran out at the end of June, was worth just under £600,000-per-week.
Barcelona are still paying nine of their players over £200,000-per-week, which includes the likes of Umtiti, who hasn’t played over 20 games in each of the last three seasons.
Barcelona’s dire financial situation is a making of their own. Former Barcelona president Bartomeu didn’t manage the finances well. Now Barcelona are over €1 billion in debt and need to sell players to balance the books and renew the contract of their greatest ever player, Lionel Messi.
