However, he experienced problems with adaptation in Barcelona: people spoke mainly in Catalan, Latin Americans were treated disrespectfully. Also, after a trip home to Rosario, everyone except Messi's father expressed a desire to stay in their homeland. An additional complication was that Messi could not participate in national competitions without the permission of the Argentine Football Association, Newells had to provide this, but the club wanted to receive financial benefits. Coach Albert Benaiges found a loophole: Lionel needed to play two matches in the regional federation, which was done. However, in the second game against Tortosa, Lionel suffered a fracture in his left fibula.

At the screening, Messi played with 15-year-olds[32]. Reshak was greatly impressed by the player's talent, which is why he convinced the board of directors of the "blue garnet" to pay for the treatment, as well as the transfer of the Messi family to Europe (Messi refused to live in a hostel, also according to FIFA rules, a minor foreigner must be accompanied by one of the parents) [33]. Messi's father gave Reshak an ultimatum that Barcelona must confirm their intentions to buy Lionel. As a result, on December 14, 2000, he signed an agreement to conclude a contract with Lionel on a napkin, sitting in a bar[30][34]. In January 2001, Barcelona promised the Messi family a loan of 120,000 euros to cover all necessary expenses. In mid-February, the entire Messi family moved to Barcelona. On March 1, the final contract was signed, Messi was entitled to a payment of 100 million pesetas per year, as well as a number of additional payments
