Messi agreed to a 50% pay cut when a contract renewal was negotiated last month. The problem Barca had was that La Liga enforced controls due to their financial situation, which means Barca had to offload players before they can register new ones.His love of Barca obviously doesn't extend to taking a substantial pay cut, whilst likely still remaining one of the best paid players in the world.
After making hundreds of millions through Barca he's now still chasing the money rather than stick with the club he loves.
I don't think this will be a popular opinion but I think it shows him in a very bad light.

It doesn't reflect well on Messi because he doesn't play for free? I've heard it all now.
He could play for virtually nothing and still be one of the richest sportsmen in history, whilst cementing his legendary status and giving something back to the club he professes to love.
He hasn't, he's gone chasing more riches.
Man City. They'll wait on Haaland until his buyout clause reduces.I know he's been a free agent for a while but Barca have just put out a statement that he won't be staying. So who will he be joining? Man City? PSG? Or someone else?
Leo Messi not staying at FC Barcelona
Despite club and player reaching an agreement and their clear intention to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacleswww.fcbarcelona.com
No, it’ll be funny as if he ends up at PSG and they still win nowt.Even after that announcement I still can’t quite believe he’ll leave until I see him wearing another teams shirt.
I also echo those saying hope it’s not PSG.
He’d be playing off Uche’s flick onsI can see it now Messi loan striker, keeper smashing the ball long, messi not challenging, fans booing him. Lazy argentinian. Why cant we sign someone who suits our style.
