El Mundo revealed Messi’s latest contract with Barcelona, which assured the Argentine to charge 511 of the 555 million due to the weak sporting goals imposed by the club
Lionel Messi secured more than 511 million euros from his last contract with Barcelona thanks to the extension he signed in 2017 with the Catalan team and the weak sporting goals imposed by the club to pay premiums to the front.
According to the Spanish newspaper the world, Who has a 30-page copy of the contract, said the Argentine’s salary could reach 555 million 237,000 619 euros (more than 673 million dollars).
The footballer’s salary is a problem for the Catalan club, which is facing a serious debt and financial crisis. For renewal only, Messi received 115 million euros and 77 million more for loyalty.
The Spanish newspaper said that Messi has received 92 percent of the total insured four years ago and that, this figure, is part of the economic problems that the culer set has at present.
The document they revealed, which was made during the administration of Josep Maria Bartomeu, confirmed that the salary of the Rosario player is the highest in the history of the sport and that there are two first fundamentals, one of 115 million 225 thousand euros for renovation and another of “fidelity” for 77 million 929,000 955 euros.
The salary figures of Messi, who could get up to 138 million euros per season, are much higher than those of figures like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who receive around 30 million euros per year.
If the Argentine does not reach the total number, it is because he will not get the incentives to achieve the goals set in competitions such as the Champions League, where Barcelona has fallen far short of winning a new ‘Orejona’.
Nevertheless, Messi will be able to leave the Catalan squad on June 30, the period in which this last contract extension ends, which has left him, to date, more than 500 million euros in just four years, which was by labor and image concept.
