Barcelona Football club are still owing their former captain Lionel Messi, who recently left the club to Paris Saint-Germain, a sum of €39 million, Newspremises reports.

Although the Argentine moved to the French giant on free transfer, it still doesn't mean that the Spanish side have been relieved of its financial obligations to the Argentine.

Barcelona must pay their former captain a €39 million loyalty bonus, according to El Mundo, as reported by Colin Millar, as disclosed in the leak of Messi’s contract with the club last January. He played with Barcelona for 17 years, scoring over 700 goals and collecting numerous trophies. He became a Blaugrana legend and a footballing icon during that time.

Messi's former deal at Barcelona, worth a whopping £492m, included a loyalty bonus for the star man worth £66m. He received half of that figure in February, with the remaining £33m due this summer.

This latest development further adds to Barca's financial woes, with president Joan Laporta ruing the 'criminal' acts of his predecessor, Josep Bartomeu, in allowing the club's finances to run out of control.

'The base of everything is the previous administration's disastrous management which we inherited,' he said in explaining Messi's departure last week.

'Some decisions might even have been criminal. I'm not talking about signings. Some are hard to understand. They must have been under pressure but it led to this situation now.'

.Some people wonder how his relationship with Mbappé will
look like...
Trust me it will be great. Messi will carry neymar and mbappe
along. Messi is a great team player so don’t worry about that.
Either neymar or mbappe will win second or third in the next
best player award.

Op correct your title: Barcelona still owe, not own

Messi have mercy on Barcelona

But he "loves money too much". Is it his fault he's one of the greatest footballers ever?

Messi loves money, Barcelona loves money. The love of money sent Messi to PSG.

Barcelona wants to paint La Liga bad in such funny circumstances! Barcelona knew their books and could have prepared for Messi earlier, they didn’t, but want a miracle to happen. The miracle didn’t happen, they have to give the blame to la liga.

But if you can think outside the box, you would know Barcelona made a mistake!

Chai, this guy money go be like sea, e go hard to dry up while he lives

Barcelona should have let him go last year so that they can make money off him- but no! see were their arrogance got them
