The revelation published this Sunday about the figures of

Lionel Messi's

contract

with Fútbol Club Barcelona had a strong impact in Argentina, with its main media reproducing the shocking front page of EL MUNDO.

Already on Saturday night, early Sunday morning in Spain, social networks and digital editions of the country's main newspapers echoed the publication, highlighting the main headline of EL MUNDO: "Leo Messi's pharaonic contract that ruins to Barcelona ".

The figure of 555 million euros gross in four years was reflected by all the media.

"Olé", the only sports newspaper in Argentina, focused on what the disclosure of the contract figures implied: "Suddenly the name of Lionel Messi began to become a trend in the networks and to be the cover of all the websites of Spain -even in the early hours of the morning- and of the planet after a revelation from the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, which published in its cover on Sunday the figures of the Argentine footballer's contract with Barcelona. "

"La Nación", which reproduces the cover of EL MUNDO, points out that the exclusive journalism "takes on singular importance in the midst of the harsh economic crisis that Barcelona is going through, after last week the publication of the economic balance was known, with a terrifying panorama for the future of the entity culé, and especially for the candidates to the elections of next March 7 ".

The newspaper founded in 1870 went further in its analysis: "Nothing will ever be like it was before in Barcelona, ​​which was walking its glory around the world and is now a prisoner of hell, dictated by the figures that instill fear. A liability of 1,173 million euros and a short-term debt of 773,000,000 are incendiary numbers. "

"The cover is shocking," said "Clarín", the country's main newspaper, in an information without the author's signature: "An unnecessary leak - which seems to have come from the bowels of the Camp Nou - that exposes the Rosario in the times in which his departure from the club that he defended throughout his career and that is currently bleeding economically and financially is discussed. "

In social networks, the general tone was to highlight how much Messi has contributed to Barcelona since his debut in 2004 and how well he deserves to earn that salary.

"Infobae", the website with the highest audience in Latin America, gave a great display to the information of EL MUNDO and added a slight nuance: "From the player's environment they warned that the figures are not completely real and that the information was leaked just at the moment that the club is going through a delicate political moment after the resignation of (Josep María) Bartomeu last October and while there is still no president in office.
