One major reason named behind Jorge Messi's hesitation over letting Leo rejoin Barcelona

Lionel Messi’s father Jorge is still not fully convinced over his potential return to Barcelona in the summer.

According to Gerard Romero, Jorge has some concerns over what a return to Camp Nou could mean for his son.

One of the major issues is how the Spanish tax authorities behave with top-level sportspersons in the country.

Neymar recently underwent a lengthy legal battle with the Spanish authorities over alleged unpaid taxes from his time at Barca.

Jorge is worried that Leo might have to pay a hefty amount in taxes, which could see his salary reduced by quite a bit.

Messi is reportedly ready to take a pay cut to join Barca, so his wages would anyhow be lower than what he gets at PSG.
