FC Barcelona continue to work towards getting the approval for their presented Financial Feasibility Plan so that they can proceed to work on acquiring their various summer transfer targets and begin operations regarding arrivals.

At the forefront of their transfer targets for the summer is Argentina World Cup winner and FC Barcelona legend, Lionel Messi. Set to apparently play his last ever game for French side Paris Saint Germain when they clash against Clermont Foot in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes, reports have begun to accelerate regarding his future.

Rumors have been circulating for quite some time now that the player may end up accepting a potential bid from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, who reportedly have offered Lionel Messi a record-breaking contract to bring him to the Middle East, as well as chances of going for a financially lucrative offer from the MLS, in the United States of America.

However, Matteo Moretto has updates on this that he has presented through RELEVO. According to the report, the first priority for Lionel Messi remains FC Barcelona and the Argentine continues to wait in accordance with the deadline of next week that Barca and La Liga have reportedly had an understanding on.

The 7-time Ballon D’or winner has 778 appearances for FC Barcelona under his belt as well as 74 appearances for current club Paris Saint Germain. Across his stays at both clubs, he has amassed a massively impressive tally of 704 club goals and 338 assists, out of which for Barcelona he has scored 672 goals and provided 303 assists.

By next week, the approval of the Feasibility Plan and the subsequent departures to generate funds are expected to be finalized. It now remains to be seen just how FC Barcelona are able to structure the departures needed to line up in terms of eligibility with Financial fair play as they have portrayed in their presented Feasibility plan.
