No doubt one of the hottest issues in European football, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been one of the most talked about this summer and a big salary has been set for it to stay.

Italian has an offer on the sixm-euro table to stay at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, an astronomical figure for an 18-year-old. Although it is true that football is becoming more and more flooded with money, the agreement will break all kinds of records and its importance becomes even more evident in comparison with the agreement signed by Lionel Messi at a similar stage in his career.

17-year-old Messi received the contract from Barcelona, since she was 11-year-old with the Catalan club. The new contract saw him earn 3m euros annually, half of what Donnarumma will win next season, Albeu.com conveys.

Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the largest players in the modern era, signed with Manchester United 18 years for about 2.5m euros annually, and Wayne Rooney signed 18m euros per year.

Neymar stayed in Brazil with Santos when he was 18 years old, his services were worth about $1.5m. Zlatan Ibrahimovic won 1,500 euros a month as an 18-year-old in Malmo, while Frankk Ribery was working at a construction site 16 years old before joining the US Boulogne at 17 for 500 marks, about 80 euros a month.
