La Liga approved Barcelona's two-year financial plan to allow the Catalan club to register the club's new contracts for their players Ronald Araujo, and Gavi, along with others, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
A source at Barca said the league's approval was received on Tuesday. In addition, it means they can also "make advances" in the summer transfers.
Moreover, the approval may strengthen their chances of signing Messi, although sources at both La Liga and Barca added that there are still some issues both sides need to solve.
Barca's viability plan determined the club's intention to the savings the club made through the shutting off of Barca TV and the departures of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
So, the Catalan will finally register the new contracts signed by Araujo, Gavi, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto and Inaki Pena.
