"I would like Messi to play in La Liga and Cristiano to come back"

Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, would "like Leo Messi" to be part of the competition again, while he also said he would like Cristiano Ronaldo, without a team after leaving Manchester United on 22nd November, to "come back to say goodbye" and assured that Frenchman Kylian Mbappe will play in Spain "at some point".
"I would like Messi to be in La Liga, and for Cristiano to come back to say goodbye," he said during a meeting with the media in Doha.
At the same time, he commented on Messi's possible return to Barcelona given the club's financial situation. "It will depend on what Messi wants to earn, which I don't know. It will also depend on whether they sell players, the income," he said.
"The financial lever they need is to save money. Their fifth lever is to lower the wage bill, they know that. Anti-Barça measures? They have appealed everything we have applied and they have lost everything, but they have the right to appeal. We are applying the rules that apply," he said.
"Barca are a great club and is more than just managers and presidents. There are very professional people working within the club and they will end up finding their way", he declared.
Furthermore, Tebas was confident that, after last summer's refusal, Mbappe will end up playing in La Liga: "He will be at some point. I don't know if it will be this season or next," he said.
