Barca suffered heavy losses due to Messi's rebellion
"The pandemic has meant that clubs are receiving less money from sponsors," Ajram told EFE. "The €30 million fee is more a reaction to Rakuten's Messi rebellion. I even doubt whether their contract would still be at €30 million."
He also emphasized: "Rakuten started sponsoring Barca's shirts when they had Messi, Suarez and Neymar. They benefited greatly from the commercial side at that time, and now Barca has parted ways with Suarez, Neymar and maybe even Messi.

When sponsoring Barca's image worldwide, Messi's image is used. No brand dares to extend the contract for another 3-4 years when it is not clear whether Messi will stay or not."
In the same interview, Messi strongly criticized former President Joseph Bartomeu. El Pulga called Mr. Bartomeu a liar for agreeing to let Messi leave but then backtracking. At the end of October, two months after Messi's rebellion, Mr. Bartomeu resigned as Barca president.
He confirmed that he and his family faced many death threats after the conflict with Messi broke out. After resigning, Mr. Bartomeu deleted all social media accounts.
This season, Messi is still playing well for Barca. He scored 6 goals and had 4 assists for the Camp Nou team.
