Getafe president Angel Torres has been talking about Lionel Messi’s contract situation at Barcelona and says the club captain simply cannot be allowed to leave the Camp Nou and La Liga this summer.
The 34-year-old has been out of contract since his Barcelona deal expired at the end of June, although reports have claimed a new five-year deal has been agreed and is close to being announced.
Yet Barca must offload players or convince some high earners to take pay-cuts before being able to register Messi in order to comply with La Liga’s salary cap.
