Barcelona must cut staggering £170m from wage budget to re-sign Lionel Messi

Barcelona will be unable to register any of their new signings or re-sign Lionel Messi to a new contract unless they find a way to trim £170m from their wage budget. La Liga president Javier Tebas has revealed that Barcelona have exceeded their salary cap for the upcoming season, which has kick-started a mass exodus from the club.
