Many accused Neymar of being greedy, many accused Mbappe of being greedy (quite rightly), but it looks like we have a champion: Messi.
What do you think of these numbers? This is absolutely Saudi Arabian level of payments and no adequate European club with non-corrupt management would ever sign such a contract.
Against the backdrop of these payments, Messi's tales of loyalty to the club look like a joke. He actually destroyed Barcelona, which fell into a financial crisis (by the way, they still pay him) and currently lost Olmo due to financial problems.
Messi is worth whatever Barcelona pays him, because he also brought glory to the club. No player will be able to create the history Messi has made in this generation. I wouldn't blame Messi but will blame Barcelona for spending so much on a player that wrecked them. Real Madrid doesn't have any financial problem but their bankroll payment on players is higher than Barcelona.
