as cash-strapped Catalans finally clear debt owed to club legend
Barcelona will send Lionel Messi a payment today to finally clear the financial debt the club owe him.
The La Liga giants still owed the legend money from his final contract at the Camp Nou, which ended in 2021.
Messi has gone on to star for Paris Saint-Germain and now plays for Inter Miami – and will be in action tonight against his old club at the Club World Cup.
But according to Culemania, via AS, the 38-year-old will receive a payment of just over £5million, or €5.95m, tomorrow.
The June 30 payment will mark the end of an agreement between Messi and the club struck while he was still on the books in Spain.
Barcelona were hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis and were left in near-financial ruin as a result.
