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.
Let's not forget that this is an X post, we can't trust the integrity of the values quoted as the values are not certified by Messi and Barcelona themselves.
That said, every international player is a business person whether we like it or not, there will always be negotiations and they will certainly not settle for less. So calling Messi or any player greedy is out of place, it's business, it's contractual, it's never by force. Messi did his best when he was in Barcelona as one of the best, Barcelona has to pay for it. Barcelona had the issue when Messi was there and after he left and still wanted him back before they were stable, so what's the point?
Nope, it isn`t just X post. It is post by Fabricio Romano. He is well known as football insider and often give us correct information before officials. Of course it is not 100% guarantee, but he is someone who can tell the truth.
PS. The same time he told just the part of the truth. No words how much Barcelona got from Messi.
