They even signed off high-wage players including Antoine Griezman, Neto, Philippe Coutinho, Miralem Pjanic, and Samuel Umtiti. But the problem is, their progress in this solution is very slow. And on the other hand, La Liga is only three weeks away.
Two Options for Messi

Either he goes anywhere else, where he can play for that club. Also, in this case, Messi has to remember that if he goes to another club, he should go there on that club’s respective deadline. Apart from that, an easy option for him is that he can stay in Barcelona, and play there, but with a severely reduced wage rate, which Barcelona can pay him with ease.
What will be the consequences?
Primarily, the options mentioned above, neither of them are preferred, in this situation.
