Lionel Messi could decide future on Tuesday as Barcelona hope to sign him immediately

Both FC Barcelona and Saudi club Al-Hilal are hoping that Lionel Messi will decide to join them next Tuesday, according to reports.

The Catalan club is hoping that La Liga will officially approve their “viability plan” that maps out their signings and sales for the upcoming transfer window. That would ensure that new contracts added to the squad will be registered according to Financial Fair Play rules.

The rumor is that the plan could be approved Tuesday of next week. If that is the case, then Barcelona would move with immediate effect to try to sign Messi.
