Barcelona is forced to pay for Messine 190 thousand a week by 2025 even if it leaves the club

The Argentinian's first showing in the new year on January 6th was characterised with two of his goals, in the 3-2 win against the Athletic Bilbaos, Periscopi broadcasts.

Last Saturday, the 33-year-old conveyed it with two other goals in the 4-0 win against Granada to pass Barcelona to third place on the board.

Messi has now scored 11 goals in La League during the 2020/21 season, which is more than any other player in the championship. Not bad for someone who was told you were going through a bad season, huh?

Of course, restoring the Mess into shape is music for ears and fiction to the eyes of Barcelona fans, with the Argentinian being connected as never before to an escape after his summer contract expires.

His departure would be a severe blow to the blaugrans and clearly not only in football terms.

According to the Spanish newspaper Marcha?

How is that possible? Well, when global icons signed the new contract in 2017, Barca raised his salary for 120m euros and agreed to pay it plus 78m euros in bonus, which would be divided by two installments of 39 million.

The first tranche was paid in July alone, while the second was meant to start splitting at the end of the 2020/21 season, while donated in eight parts over four years.

This means that even if he leaves the club, Barca will have to pay the best player in history from 190 thousand euros per week to 2025.
