Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, 33, will have an unprecedented annual contract with earnings that he did not have in his best football years.
According to the Catalan Sport, the owners of Manchester City intend to give close to a billion euros to the Argentine superstar in an unprecedented agreement.
According to the information, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is offering Argentina a contract worth 750 million euros for the next five years, from 33 to 38 years. In a period, that is, during which the course and salaries of footballers are usually reduced.
How the proposal is analyzed
Messi will play in the Premier League for the next three years with Manchester City (from 2020 to 2023), while he will continue his career for two years (2023-2025) in the American Championship (MLS) with the New York jersey. City FC.
For each of the five years that he will play for the two teams, Messi will receive 100 million euros. He will receive € 500 million every five years, while he will receive another € 250 million as a loyalty bonus when he leaves City in the summer of 2023 to continue his career in the United States. As reported by ethnos.gr, this will happen in order to circumvent the restrictions imposed by Financial Fair Play on European teams.
According to a Forbes article, Messi, from 2005 when he first appeared in professional football until 2020, received from Barcelona (only from his annual contracts) around 500 million euros.
3-year contract with Manchester City (2020-2023)
2-year contract with New York City FC (2023-2025)
750 million euros in five years
100 million euros per year from 2020 to 2025
Loyalty bonus of 250 million euros in 2023
But for the deal with City to continue, the serious dispute between Messi and Barcelona, which concerns the contract that the two parties have signed, must first be resolved. In fact, the dispute may end in court.
