Lionel Messi: Barcelona to take legal action after forward's £492m contract leaked (https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55873590) (BBC)

According to El Mundo, Messi's four-year contract was worth a possible 555,237,619 euros until 30 June, 2021.  It means the 33-year-old would be receiving up to £123m a season.

Argentina international Messi joined Barcelona at 13 but handed in a transfer request in August.  There remains uncertainty if he will remain with the club when his contract runs out in the summer.

Messi is Barcelona's record goalscorer and has won 10 La Liga titles, the Champions League four times and the Ballon d'Or - awarded to the world's best player - six times.

His controversial summer request to leave followed clashes with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, who resigned in October.  Messi, who described Bartomeu's reign as "a disaster", said in December: "I don't know what I'm going to do yet."

I wonder how much he makes while walking from the changing room to the pitch?

Only concerneed about the leak as his tax violations will come back into the equation. Messi very nearly did hard time....rumoured to be paying off 20 million p.a. still.....Man City won't touch him until that's all put to bed.
