The Spanish Federation rejects Barcelona's request to renew Messi's contract

Sport, the Spanish daily sports newspaper based in Barcelona reported that the meeting between Spanish league president Javier Tebas with Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, this week did not reach a satisfactory result in order to listen to the Catalan club’s proposal to find a solution to the salary crisis that hinders the renewal of the contract of Lionel Messi, Barcelona captain.
Joan Laporta decided to hold a meeting with Tebas in order to reach a compromise in the crisis of high salaries in Barca club, which hinders the renewal of Messi's contract.
According to the Spanish daily sport newspaper, the president of La Liga has listened to the problem that Barcelona's finances suffered a huge blow last season, which is not in line with the income level of the club that was affected last season.
Barcelona 'disappointed' after meeting with Javier Tebas unsympathetic attitude, despite their previous good relationship, but the meeting did not go positively for Barcelona.
During the meeting, Javier Tebas confirmed that he understood the crisis in Barcelona, but stressed that he could not do anything for the Catalan club to break the rule and urged them to comply with the same regulations as the rest of the clubs in the Spanish La Liga.
Barcelona is in a very difficult situation, as there are valid contracts for a numbers of its players that must be terminated to make room for Messi's contract renewal. Although Francisco Trincao left yesterday for Wolverhampton, where the exit of Junior Firpo is approaching, and the contract of Mateos Fernandez and Samuel Umtiti is terminated in the same way, but Barcelona still needs to get rid of as many players as possible.
The crisis is that the regulations of the Spanish League have stressed the reduction of salaries for players, in addition to the need for a balance between exports and imports, which hinders Messi's renewal, as it is considered a violation, especially after the club urged to sign a new contract, while Messi's soon-to-expire contract.
