How Much Will Barcelona's Income Increase If Messi Returns?

 Lionel Messi and Barcelona have become synonymous. Many thought Messi would stay at Barca forever.

But Barca could not renew the contract with the best player in their club history due to La Liga's salary cap policy. Messi was forced to break his 21-year relationship with the Catalan club. Signed with PSG on a two-year contract. However, when leaving the Camp Nou in tears, Messi said, "I will be back."

Is it time to return to the beloved premises? Only one more month. In the meantime, if the contract with PSG is not renewed, Messi will become a free agent. You can go to your favorite place.

Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia and Inter Miami of the United States are being heard loudly as Messi's next destination. However, Barca president Juan Laporta and coach Xavi Hernandez are also optimistic about Messi's return. The return of the record seven-time Ballon d'Or winner will not only increase the value of the club. Argentina will benefit financially!

Spanish media outlet 'Sport' has conducted an internal economic study on how much money the Catalan club will earn if Messi begins his second chapter at Barca. According to the report published yesterday, if Messi returns to Barca, the club will earn more than 23 million euros (Tk 2,663 million in Bangladeshi currency) per year. Of this, 15 crore Euros or 1 thousand 737 crore rupees will come from the sale of sponsors and jerseys and 8 crore euros or 926 crore rupees will come from the sale of tickets.

Wherever Messi goes, there is publicity. He also became the main face of the advertisement. Who knows better than PSG! The Paris club earned the most money last season among all football clubs in the world. It's because of Messi. According to the research report published by 'Sport', after Messi went to PSG, there was a 13 percent increase in sponsors and a 60 percent from jersey sales.

Barca, which has suffered financially due to Corona, is now trying to overcome the loss by returning Messi. Recently, the sports planning board of the club said that they will need 20 million euros (a little more than 2 thousand 325 million rupees) to continue the next season.

They will collect this money through income from various sectors and reduce expenses. The club will soon present their financial viability plan to La Liga authorities. If the league committee gives the green signal subject to the commitment letter, there will be no further hurdles to joining the transfer market. Barca can return Messi if he wants.

In essence, Barca will capitalize on Messi's reputation after bringing him in to comply with La Liga's salary cap policy. The hope of the club authorities is that the pre-season training in Japan and the United States will raise enough money to buy Messi. Sponsorships will also invest more as Xavi's side win the La Liga title after four years. Now it is necessary to meet two by two and four!
