As RAC1's reliable Gerard Romero reports, Barcelona have to do the following three things to be able to register Leo Messi.
1. Sell Martin Braithwaite for at least €15m.
2. Ship away Miralem Pjanic and Samuel Umtiti. If the duo doesn't agree to leave, reducing their salaries unilaterally would also do.
3. Reduce the salaries of the three captains: Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto.
The source also claims that Barca assure they would be able to afford both Messi and Antoine Griezmann if the three conditions are met.
As per recent reports, the Catalans have reached a final agreement with Leo over a five-year extension. Their plan is to make an official announcement before the Joan Gamper Trophy clash against Juventus set for August 8.
The Argentine is currently on holiday and won't join the pre-season until he puts pen to paper.
