“I have personally met with Laporta (Joan, President of FC Barcelona, Note. d. Red.), also on the phone and with the club’s board of directors, “said Tebas.
The league boss said they were looking for a solution together. But the decision of the Catalans was “certainly” not of a financial nature.
Barcelona had told a different version in public. Accordingly, the high debt of the club was the main reason, it said in August. Even with a significant salary cut from Messi, the superstar could not have been reported to the league due to the salary cap, according to Laporta. The Argentine then moved to PSG on a free transfer.

Tebas now said: “Next season you will see from the Barça numbers whether Messi could have stayed or not.” If you believe the Spanish league boss, it would have been possible.

Nevertheless, Tebas said: “As with the farewells of Cristiano Ronaldo, Pep Guardiola or José Mourinho, we knew it would happen at some point. We were very lucky to have had the two best footballers in the world in the two best teams in the world and in the league . “
You could use this for the worldwide growth of the Spanish league, said the 59-year-old. In his view, the departure from Messi is “even more painful, because I personally consider him the best of all time. He didn’t deserve to leave Barça or La Liga like that.”
