On June 21, the "Ass" newspaper reported that Messi refused to pay three times the salary of other teams and chose to stay in Barcelona, while Laporta also wanted to sign Ronaldo.

It is reported that Messi's father, Jorge Messi, is already in Barcelona, and the two sides still need to solve the problem of payment methods. Messi turned down three times the salary offered by other teams because Laporta gave him the love and respect he needed.
Laporta also has a bold idea to sign former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. It is not known whether Cristiano Ronaldo will agree to the transfer, and his agent Mendes has not received a call from Barca. Barca are willing to trade two players for Ronaldo, with Griezmann, Roberto and Coutinho among them.
