In apparent reward for his magnificent displays that have wowed the spectators all over the world,Lionel Messi,is on the verge of signing a life contract with Barcelona FC of Spain.
Messi’s father, Jorge, is already in new contract talks with Barcelona over the possibility of extending the Argentine’s stay at Camp Nou,till he clocks 31 years old.
Only last night,Messi proved his worth the more, as he scored a double that sunk Atletico Madrid 4-1 and further extended their lead in the Spanish La Liga.
Messi now has an astonishing record of 90 goals,scored in a calendar year,an incredible feat that has set him apart from other footballers of his time,drawing up debates,on whether he is the greatest of all time.
The new deal expected to be handed out by Barcelona, will be structured so that it will increase on a yearly basis.
The contract could rise as high as £12.5million a year net before bonuses yearly. Messi will get an estimated net take-home pay before bonuses,that is valued to about £9m year.
Although his net pay,falls short to that of former teammates Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto’o,who both earn £12m and £16m at Paris Saint-Germain and Anzhi Makhachkala respectively,his bonuses and sponsorship deals surpasses theirs.
