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.

I don't see it as been greed since Messi wasn't forcing it on them to do so if Barcelona wasn't comfortable with the price they would have allowed Messi to leave the team then, Messi is a very good player he has won world best player several times he has even make Barcelona achieve more tittle and names in football history so I think he worth the payment Messi has help Barcelona to generate more money in the past. The only part I wasn't happy with Messi was the fart that he later left Barcelona at the end of everything he has been right from academy because through Barcelona he also made names in football I think he would have just retired at Barcelona.

How can you be sure of this? Maybe you were present at the negotiations or you have some inside information? From the facts we have: 115 million simply for agreeing to extend the contract. I think you will agree that this is very similar to "if you don't pay me, then I can go to those who will"? And this is not a conversation about salary at all. Literally 115 million for "loyalty".
