Notably, Barca had signed Firpo from Betis in August. The 23-year-old made his debut during the win, coming on for Brazilian midfielder Rafinha in the 81st minute.
The transfer deal includes add on worth €12 million and a release clause worth €200 million. It is to be noted that Firpo has signed the contract for five years.
Messi, meanwhile, wants Barcelona to consider compatriot Nicolas Tagliafico as an option.
