Does Messi receive 110 million euros from Saint-Germain .. Leonardo reveals the truth
The sports director of Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian Leonardo, denied what was published by the local sports newspaper, L'Equipe, about the salary that Argentine star Lionel Messi will receive with the capital club.
And the newspaper "L'Equipe" reported on the eve of the Lyon meeting in the local league and the first appearance of Messi at the "Parc des Princes" stadium since his arrival to Saint-Germain in a free transfer deal after the separation from Barcelona, that the best player in the world six times will receive 110 million euros over three years.
But Leonardo considered what the newspaper said "too far from reality," adding, "We did not like it. This is very far from reality, whether in terms of time or numbers."
He continued, "There are secret clauses, but I can say that it is not the truth. The term of the contract is two years," not for three, and without any conditions, whether for the player or the club, according to what the Brazilian stressed.
He believed that what was published by "L'Equipe" constituted "a lack of respect. I do not understand the timing, but it is your problem (to the journalists)."
