Despite the resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu, a ceasefire has not yet been declared in the war between Barcelona and Lionel Messi. The latest shot came from the direction of the club, with the publication of the details of the Argentine’s contract in El Mundo. Over 555 million euros for four years went into the star’s pocket, while the club is on the safe path to bankruptcy.
One of the journalists who revealed the contract, Marty Savals, told the sports channel’s night studio about the reactions to the publication: “There were two types of reactions. Some, mostly Barcelona fans, thought it was a conspiracy against the club. They were angry. .
Did Messi deserve to earn that much? Savals hints at his opinion on the subject: “The contract was signed at the end of November 2017 because of the political problems in Catalonia. Messi was 31. We now find out that Barcelona is a club in bankruptcy. Does Messi deserve these sums? That’s the question. “
“Someone asked Johan Cruyff ‘how much are you worth?’ “He would make a billion dollars or three billion dollars, people were happy. He brought a lot of success to the club so they don’t care how much money he makes or the club goes bankrupt.”
“We are talking about transparency,” Sabals continued. “Barcelona has 143,000 members at the club. Do they need to know how many of the players are earning? Closing … “.
Now the big question is whether Messi will continue at Barcelona or shock the world and for the first time in his professional career he will wear a different uniform. Sabals has a hard time seeing him stay: “There are three presidential candidates in the March 7 election. They have to decide what to do with Messi. It will be difficult negotiations if he wants to stay, especially because of the numbers. Barcelona have huge debts. She has made quite a few mistakes over the years and pays huge sums to players who are not helpful to her. They need to rob systems. ”
