Breaking: Messi agrees to new Barca deal worth €105m
He is also set to become the world’s best-paid player.
Today’s edition of the Catalan paper confirms that the Blaugrana legend has signed a three-year extension with his current club, and that the Flea’s father (Jorge) and the Catalan directors have reached an agreement on his salary.
Messi, who turned 30 this year, could even stay until he’s 34, as he has an option for another year in the new contract.
Messi is set to earn €30 million a year, €35m if you consider the bonuses he is set to receive.
The new deal is set to be made official and announced to the press in the coming hours, but the signature of the deal is set to be delayed by a few days.
Messi is currently honeymooning in Antigua, and won’t be back before July 12th, i.e. next Wednesday.
Oh, and the 30-year-old will now have a €300m release clause. Remember, PSG tried to entice Neymar away last summer, and anyone would want to be able to line up La Pulga.
