President Barcelona, Joan Laporta stated that he did not want to instill in you any delusions. Barcelona and Messi have reached an agreement. We've agreed to a 5-year contract, but only have to pay for two years of salary. Messi has consented and is prepared to sign the contract.
However, due to La Liga's rules, they were unable to do so. In terms of salary cap drama, the league does not provide any flexibility. Messi may consider other offers for the time being. Laporta was disappointed but claimed the club must move forward. Barcelona is first and foremost.
The response of Barcelona president Joan Laporta has put an end to hopes of a "divine turn of the wheel" or an unexpected scenario. Even though the official announcement had been made hours before, it was widely assumed that Messi and Barcelona were no longer together. Most people still think Barcelona was just sulking to put pressure on the La Liga organizers.
Joan Laporta, however, is not Josep Bartomeu. The current president of Barcelona examines the club's current problems articulately and does not intend to criticize the La Liga organizers. It was all out of his control.
The new era at Barcelona has officially begun, as Laporta stated, which means that the golden era named after Messi has come to an end after 17 years. For Barcelona fans, this is extremely difficult to accept because they do not want to lose a living legend, especially when the Argentine superstar is still in a deep love for the team.
There are many various factors and viewpoints that can be used to determine a person's greatness, but no one can deny Messi's brilliance. There's no need to browse; everyone can see how great Messi is. At this point, any beautiful words used to praise Messi are meaningless because watching him play is a joy for all football fans around the world.
On October 16, 2004, this player made his debut with Barcelona's first team, which had won a total of 61 titles. Barcelona added 35 titles to its traditional room until Messi officially ended his contract with the club on July 1, 2021. The Argentine superstar had enough of these trophies to become the "Player with the Most Trophies" in the club's history.
Messi plays the main role in the majority of these titles, and the Argentine superstar breaks from one record to the next, from club to La Liga, then Europe, and finally the world. Six "Golden Ball" titles, six "European Golden Shoe" titles, eight La Liga titles, and 96 goals in a calendar year (2012, including 5 friendlies).
Despite his modest height in Europe (1m70), Messi is held in high regard by all. That is undeniable because the superstar, who was born in 1987, wowed the audience with surprise after surprise. Messi is always a shining light for fans and teammates, even when Barcelona is in a tough situation.
Human power, on the other hand, is limited. Messi won the title of "Top Scorer" in La Liga for the fifth year in a row last season, but Barcelona went home empty-handed for the second season in a row. It was even worse in the Champions League when this team kept suffering shocking defeats and being humiliated.
Messi is a human being, so it's natural for him to have emotions. Because he felt he had to "burden" his teammates too much, the Argentine superstar was miserable and planned to leave under the contract he had signed earlier. The blatant reversal of former president Josep Bartomeu, on the other hand, thrust Messi into the spotlight of the media.
Messi demonstrated his greatness once again when he agreed to stay for another season, famously stating, "I stayed because I don't want to sue Barcelona." Perhaps Bartomeu was well aware of this, resulting in his cunning act, but Bartomeu had no idea he had won a move but lost the entire chessboard.
As a free agent, Messi can now negotiate with any club in the world. The Argentine superstar is 34 years old, but his ability to play at the highest level for another 3-4 years is undeniable.
Whatever the new stop is, one thing is certain: Messi will be rewarded with a "rain of money." Barcelona can have the power to force Messi to take a pay cut out of love, but the rest of the world can not.
Al Sadd, a Qatari club, is rumored to be willing to spend 1 billion euros in three years to sign Messi. This translates to more than 333 million euros per year, more than 27.7 million euros per month, more than 6.4 million euros per week, more than 913,000 euros per day, more than 38,000 euros per hour, 634 euros per minute, and more than 10 euros per second for the Argentine superstar.
If Messi accepts the offer, he will earn approximately 270,000 VND every second. In three years, the Argentine superstar will be one of the wealthiest athletes in the world, possibly surpassing even rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi can consider this offer if he prefers stability and his competitive spirit has subsided. The Argentine superstar, however, still aspires to play at the highest level and win the Champions League once more. As a result, the Argentine superstar has set his sights on European teams.
Because of its enormous financial potential, PSG is currently the team most likely to sign Messi, and it is unconcerned about UEFA's Financial Fair Play Law. Messi is expected to receive a contract worth up to 40 million euros per season, according to the latest reports.
PSG will have to spend around 80 million euros per season if this is the after-tax rate because personal income tax in France is 50% for those earning more than 500,000 euros per year. Anyway, it's none of Messi's business because neither PSG nor Al Sadd will treat him badly.
