While Tebas is keen to see Messi remain at the Catalan giants he insists LaLiga will not be negatively impacted should the superstar leave.
‘I do not think that the arrival of Messi can solve the problems of Serie A, which are linked to the bad relationship between debts, high and insufficient collections,’ he said.
‘Serie A’s figures are stressed, and these economic problems certainly are not solved by Leo Messi.

‘I would like Messi to stay here, but if he leaves it would not be a drama.
‘It was said that without Cristiano Ronaldo the league would have lost money, and instead we would have earned it, even in Portugal. Players help but are not essential to a championship.’
Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti believes that it isn’t ‘an impossible dream’ for the Italian side to sign Messi this summer.
