Football Live Today – Barcelona Have €7million More for Messi’s New Contract
Now, Getafe are looking for a means to sign Carles Alena, a 23-year-old midfielder, from Barcelona.
So, from the potential sale of Alena, Barcelona may have the chance to make another €7 million. And they may use this capital to funnel into a new extension offer for Messi.
Getafe president Angel Torres recently told Sport: “Aleñá’s operation is pending on Messi’s.”
“The boy wants to come to Getafe and Barcelona knows it,” Torres said. “I think it will have a happy ending. I am negotiating directly with Barcelona and I hope Aleñá is here before we go to La Manga.”
