The contract of the legendary attacker with Barcelona expired on June 30th, and now he's a free agent, which means every club in the world can transfer him.
That said, it's extremely little possible for Mess to sign for any other club this summer, Periscope broadcasts.
The 34-year-old is in negotiations with Barca for a new, two-year contract, while it is reported that he will have to accept a pay cut because he has astronomical income.
In January, Messi's income was published from the previous contract with the club.
It was found that six times the Golden Land was benefiting 555 million thanks to pay, image rights, bonus and other variables.
His contract was worth 133m euros in the season, according to The Mirror, until a 115 million bonus was paid to the South American for signing the contract.
The bonds of loyalty, meanwhile, totaled 77.9m euros.
Mess may be the best of all times, but no one is worth that much.
Even NBA stars like Kevin Durant and Isaiah Thomas were shocked to realize that Messie won.
Thomas, who formerly played for LA Lakers and is currently a free agent, wrote: I gotta put my kids in football. ”
Durant, whose four-year contract with Brooklyn Nets is worth $184m, wrote: ”Crazy.” /Periscope. com/
