I don't really understand FFP, whether it exists, or what the punishments are, but wouldn't it be worth it to sign Messi even if you had to secure loans to sign him and possibly be banned from Europe after this season to win your domestic league and the Champions League this season? Would any teams try this?

I think this summer is gonna be a free-for-all re: FFP. UEFA themselves said it's currently "purposeless", so I think clubs, if they want, will be able to spend a ton of money this summer and not get punished. FFP is retroactively assessed, unlike the La Liga salary cap, which is forward looking. Should that CVC firm pull out from La Liga and help Burnley buy Messi? Absolutely.
