Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur has revealed Lionel Messi’s earnings at Barcelona.
His basic wage at Barcelona is an eye-watering €60.39 million every year, which works out at £988,000 a week. Pretty much one million English pounds every week. Wow.
“Whenever I see a rumour about Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona, I think about Football Leaks: 60.395.769 euro basic yearly wages (£988.000 a week), £9.100.000 per year on image rights, £13.000.000 a year on possible bonuses plus signing on & loyalty fee (£120.000.000 over 5 years
On top of that, Messi pockets £9.1 million every year with image rights, £13 million every year with possible bonuses as well as another £120 million over five years for his signing on & loyalty fee.
It may be a free transfer but signing Messi isn’t going to come without a ridiculous cost – more than £100 million every year!
