According to AS, Barcelona will have to reduce the cost of player salaries by € 205 million to sign PSG forward Lionel Messi.
It is reported that the return of the 35-year-old Argentine will only be possible if the Catalan club revises the terms of the agreements of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, defender Jordi Alba and midfielder Frankie de Jong. Moreover, the Blaugrana will have to part with several players, including midfielder Sergio Busquets.
Only defenders Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo, midfielders Gavi and Pedri and forward Robert Lewandowski are regarded as untouchable for Barça.
Messi's contract with PSG expires next summer and is unlikely to be renewed.
Messi has 20 goals and 19 assists in 37 matches for PSG in all competitions this season.
