Lionel Messi is a soccer player with FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team. He has established records for goals scored and won individual awards en route to worldwide recognition as one of the best players in soccer.
After the long stay at Barcelona Lionel Messi has agreed to go to Paris Saint-Germain where he signed a two-year deal with an option of another 12 months, Messi said:
“I am excited to begin a new chapter of my career at Paris Saint-Germain. The club and its vision are in perfect harmony with my ambitions.
“I know how talented the squad and the coaching staff are here. I am determined to help build something special for the club and the fans, and I am looking forward to stepping out onto the pitch at the Parc des Princes.”
Reports state that Messi’s two-year contract with PSG gives him a $41 million annual net salary, including bonuses. The contract also contemplates an option for a third year.
In addition, The Athletic tacks on a near $30-million signing bonus, while Forbes reports that the player will also get a cut of player image rights, including jersey sales, which could potentially bump his annual salary up to the $75 million range.
Messi has won six Ballon d’Or awards. The 34-year-old won FIFA World Player of the Year in 2009 and The Best FIFA Men’s Player in 2019. He has won six European Golden Shoes and two UEFA Men’s Player of the Year awards. In La Liga, he has won six Best Player awards.
Messi won the Champions League trophy four times in a storied career with FC Barcelona, the last one coming back in 2015. Meanwhile, PSG has been knocking on the door for the last several years with a trip to the final in 2020 (loss vs. Bayern Munich) and advancement to the tournament semis last year (eliminated vs. Manchester City).
Lionel Messi will now be reunited with former Barcelona player Neymar, where they were great friends and fans favorite at Barcelona when they use to play together on the same team.
Neymar welcomed his good friend and former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi to the Ligue 1 giants with a throwback video from their Barcelona days on social media.
Messi will reunite with Neymar 4 years after the Brazil star left Barcelona to PSG on a world-record transfer worth USD 261 million. Messi and Neymar along with Suarez formed a lethal strike partnership at Barcelona. The arrival of Messi to PSG only adds firepower to the Paris side which is looking solid.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
