"Imaginary" numbers in Messi's contract are revealed for the first time
The Spanish newspaper "AS" today unveiled fictional figures for the salary and bonuses that Barcelona captain Lionel Messi received after renewing his current contract in 2017, and appeared for the first time.
And she said, according to the details published in the Spanish newspaper "Lavangardia", that as soon as Messi accepted the renewal, he received a huge bonus amounting to 78 million euros, to be paid in two parts of 39 million euros.
She said that the first half of this bonus did not get Messi only last July, while the second half may never get it, because it is linked to a clause in his contract that allows him to obtain it in the event that he renews the contract for an additional four years.
The most important thing in the contract remains the very large annual salary of 100 million euros.
This confirms that if any club wants to sign Lionel Messi, even though he will move as a free player, the club wishing to serve him will have to pay benefits that exceed what he currently gets in Barcelona, which according to the Spanish press are "fictional" figures that do not match what is happening. Any other footballer should have it, as the salaries of Neymar and Ronaldo together do not reach 60% of Messi's salary.
