Lionel Messi, the most expensive footballer in the world, seems to be ready to compromise. Messi’s contract with Spanish football club Barcelona has recently expired. Messi has spent his whole life in the club. Against this background, a debate began over what his future would be. However, it seems that Messi has once again opted for a Barcelona contract, leaving no room for speculation.
Messi is set to sign a five-year deal with the Barcelona club. In the wake of the re-signing, it seems likely that his cuts will be significantly less compared to his current pay, which will drawback on his annual revenue, on which the club will soon make an official statement.
Barcelona, meanwhile, has been at a loss for some time. On the other hand, due to the lockdown effect, the management can’t pay such high remunerations to the players. In the wake of this, there are reports that Messi is willing to sacrifice his salary to provide the club with a foothold.
Analysts believe that Messi is implementing a master plan in this regard. Some clubs are already offering Messi a higher salary than Barcelona.
However, Messi, who is an ambassador for many brands, is making a significant income. In this context, if Messi goes to other clubs, he feels that there is a possibility that the loss of credibility will damage the revenue. That is why analysts believe that Messi was able to accept the offer by Barcelona. Meanwhile, this Argentine football magician has been with Barcelona since 2004.
Messi whopped 650 million dollars over his contract for the last five years, setting a world record for the most costly players. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Inter Milan have also made some high offers for Messi following the recent termination of his contract. If the current articles are accurate, Messi will continue with Barcelona until 2026.
Messi earned his first international title on Sunday as Argentina defeated Brazil in raising the Copa America trophy. Messi has been awarded the Player of the Tournament.
