				La Liga’s financial management rules" includes two notable regulations
				1)Squad Cost Limitation:
				The Squad Cost encompasses various factors such as players' total salaries, variable expenses, bonuses, player rights amortization, social security, pensions, and contract termination compensations.
				La Liga sets an upper limit on Squad Cost, mandating that clubs operate within this financial framework.
				2)4×1 Rule
				Clubs can allocate only 1/4 of the funds generated from player sales for acquiring new players.
				These rules restrict and ensures careful financial management of clubs.
				Lionel Messi achieved numerous titles with FC Barcelona, notably winning the Ballon d'Or seven times. He has also left an indelible mark on history by setting records such as being the all-time leading goal-scorer in La Liga and achieving remarkable goal-scoring feats in the UEFA Champions League. He has signed a huge salary contract with Barcelona for many years and has a strong attachment to the team.
				Barcelona is a team in La Liga. Barcelona faced financial challenges due to the accumulation of debts resulting from high player salaries. 　　
				Despite attempting to hold down Squad Cost by selling young players, Barcelona still found itself in violation of La "Liga's financial management rules". La Liga, citing budgetary constraints, did not permit Barcelona to continue Messi's contract.
				Thus, Leonel Messi unwillingly left Barcelona and As of now, Leonel Messi is no longer with a La Liga team but is playing for Inter Miami, a club in the United States.
				For the purpose of the debate,we assume that Lionel Messi would have remained in Barcelona if La Liga had granted the contract as an exception.
