This is the amount to enough to make your head spin. € 45 million annually! Here is according to The Sun, the salary of Lionel Messi in his future contract. The British tabloid revealed that amount Wednesday morning. A figure of course to be taken lightly, so it is indecent and borderline ridiculous.

“Messi is the best player in the world, and the best player in the world deserves the best salary in the world,” said the president of Barça a few weeks ago. Monday night, Javier Faus, economic vice- president of the club, was part of the same logic though he categorically refused this idea last December, saying that he is not inclined to be upgrading the Barcelona striker every six months and was even criticized by the player later on.

“Messi was and still the best player in the world, no matter who wins the trophies. (…). The president has already said that the best player in the world deserves the best economic treatment, “said Faus. But to pay him the astronomical salary of € 45 million, there will be enough to frustrate other Catalan players.

Waiting to see a little clearer about the real intentions of the Barcelona leaders on the contract of Messi , the latter will play tonight at Levante his 400th match in the blaugrana jersey.
