The transfer merry-go-round surrounding Lionel Messi has finally ended. The Argentine has put all the speculations to bed as he made the surprising decision to opt for Inter Miami instead of returning to FC Barcelona. Many fans had been optimistic about his potential return to Spain. However, it seems he had already made up his mind.

His decision has broken the hearts of all the Barca fans. They were looking forward to seeing him in the red and blue jersey again. The 35-year-old has left the Catalans with a bitter mouth. While they may have missed out on their former player, there’s still good news awaiting for them.

A ray of hope for FC Barcelona

It must be a sad moment in Barcelona after hearing their former veteran’s decision. It was quite an anticipated move but failed as he left the club in ditches. However, the Blaugrana still have a chance to bring back the lost smile, as they are set to receive a major $107 million boost.

This comes from Mundo Deportivo, which claims that Barcelona is in line to get a hundred million dollars thanks to the television rights. Following their empathic La Liga win, the Spanish giants will be rewarded 100 million euros or approximately $107 million for their achievements.
