LaLiga approves Messi registration to rejoin Barca
LaLiga has authorized Barcelona to register Lionel Messi, despite the club's financial concerns.
Messi became a free agent last week with Barcelona working on a new deal, pending their financial constraints having been impacted heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paris Saint-Germain had been linked with a swoop for Messi but the approval of the authorities to register Messi is a strong indication he will stay.
