Leo Messi wants to renegotiate his contract with Barca, but WHY?

It seems that Messi wants to renegotiate his contract even though he had a contract upgradation back in February. The arrival of Neymar and his recent problems with the Spanish Treasury could be behind this unexpected movement.

Jorge Messi, Leo's father and manager, has traveled to Barcelona with the intention of meeting with Sandro Rosell to try to renegotiate the contract of his son, says Jordi Basté in the newspaper "The 9 Esportiu". According to the journalist, George and Leo believe that Messi is not the best paid player and wants to ask for an upgrade.

Although The new contract already provides a significant improvement in salary and maintains its clause of 250 million euros. According Basté, the arrival of Neymar could have changed the wage scale and Messi wants to be recognized for what it is: the best player in the world.

The recent problems with the IRS  also could be the main motive behind this movement. Messi's lawyers are trying to avoid trial for alleged tax fraud and, although there seems to be agreement with the prosecution, this does not prevent an initial appearance of the player and his father on September 17 at the courthouse in Gava.

Rosell : "Enemies of the club think Messi & Neymar won't work together."

FC Barcelona president Sandro Rosell in a recent speech has talked about Neymar, Messi and the possibility of a last  transfer during the congress of official supporters clubs.

He was very optimistic in his speech about starting the new season. "You know the enemies of the club will try to destabilize  us with all their might. They think Neymar and messi can't work together. However, you will see, next year when we will meet again that we both will be satisfied with their performances."

On the matter of signing a central defender, Rosell said,  “We continue to try to strengthen the squad. When we sign a player all conditions should be fine. Sometimes we can’t close a deal because of certain things and therefore we have to look for someone else. Our aim is to sign someone before August 31.”
