Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Christopher Nkunku’s “Little Brother” interview!
The last years of Leo Messi at Barça have never ceased to make people talk. Accused by some of having obtained conditions that are too high to extend, the Argentinian international has sometimes been held responsible for the club’s financial worries. When Joan Laporta arrived at the head of the club in 2021, the new president of the Blaugranas had to resolve to let slip the best player in the history of the Catalan entity because he could not extend it and register him on La Liga records.

It must be said that the Paris Saint-Germain player did indeed have an XXL contract. In documents released by El Mundo, the Pulga would have negotiated extremely advantageous conditions to extend. The player notably wanted a private box at the Camp Nou for his family and that of Luis Suarez accompanied by a bonus of 10 million euros for his signature. After having negotiated salary cuts linked to the pandemic, Leo Messi wanted to recover them the following years with an interest of 3%.
A release clause of 10,000 euros!
Leo Messi also reportedly secured the signing of a release clause of just €10,000, allowing him to leave Barca at any time. The club have also reportedly agreed to include Christmas flights on a private jet for him and his family. Josep Bartomeu and the management had accepted the conditions of the Argentinian, aware that his departure a few weeks after the fiasco against Bayern Munich (8-2) would have plunged the club into a huge crisis.
to summarize
Leo Messi would have asked for extremely advantageous conditions to extend his contract with Barça in 2020. The Argentinian international would have notably demanded private flights for his family as well as a signing bonus of 10 million euros.
