Barcelona just a mess. Why did Laporta negotiate a contract with Messi knowing the financial situation?

A lot of smoke and mirrors.

Crazy. Barca's wage bill is still eating 95% of their total income without Messi. La Liga's FFP rules cap the wage bill at 70% so they still can't register the new signings.

They cannot get rid of the players they don't want but then neither can Chelsea, Madrid, City etc.
