According to Sport, the Barca chiefs are planning to sit down with LaLiga president Javier Tebas and present to him their plan to lower their finances in order to facilitate their signing of Messi.
The 60-year-old league executive has reiterated on a number of occasions that the newly crowned LaLiga champions have to drastically decrease their wages should they wish to re-sign the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
The Catalan giants have reportedly not yet begun talks with the Argentine's entourage as they are first waiting for the 35-year-old to run down his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but before they speak to the diminutive attacker's camp, the club wants reassurances from the Spanish top flight that his registration will be possible.
The five-time UEFA Champions League winners' offer to the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner will not be an astronomical one, but they are said to remain confident it will satisfy all parties.
Messi is believed to want to return to the Camp Nou as his contract in the French capital draws to a close. The player's situation at the Parc des Princes recently reached a new low following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia and he is now expected to leave the record Ligue 1 champions after June.
Spain is said to be the forward's main priority as he would like to stay in Europe, but Saudi giants Al Hilal are also firmly in the picture to sign the Rosario native.
