33-year-old Argentine Lionel Messi has made a name for himself as one of the greatest players of all time, and his recently-leaked contract reveals that his earnings reflect that.
Spanish newspaper ‘El Mundo’ revealed access to Messi’s 2017 contract with Barcelona with income that could reach as much as €138 million per season, of which he would have to pay about half in Spanish taxes.
The newspaper stated that it was the most expensive athletic contract ever secured meaning that when his time at Barcelona comes to an end, only a club with deep pockets could afford to cater for his move.
