Not surprising. Again I just offer a warning to the Board, "Make sure you get this guy the absolute very best personal strength and condition coaches available!" Because now more than ever Barca need him the most, on the pitch, every game, for the full 90. Being brutally honest, when he's not playing, Barca stand absolutely NO chance of winning! So if he's going to be the figure head of the franchise on into the next decade you better surround him with best "support staff" money can by! Spare NO expense!
What? 100M for six years? Thats almost 17M per year if I cant well...is that possible?! Ronaldinho as a second best payed footballer on the world is now earning half of that.
° 100 million euro =
160 million us dollar
80 million british pound
8 million euro is net. I might think this amount is not net. Papers need a nice round number to impress...
Messi's agent must be the happiest man alive right now! LOL!
