Messi destroyed Barcelona to dust

[Spaceman1000$]

Many accused Neymar of being greedy, many accused Mbappe of being greedy (quite rightly), but it looks like we have a champion: Messi.
What do you think of these numbers? This is absolutely Saudi Arabian level of payments and no adequate European club with non-corrupt management would ever sign such a contract.
Against the backdrop of these payments, Messi's tales of loyalty to the club look like a joke. He actually destroyed Barcelona, ​​which fell into a financial crisis (by the way, they still pay him) and currently lost Olmo due to financial problems.

The secrecy behind the Messi's contract left a lot to be desired for, at a point, nobody actually knew what Messi was collect as weekly payment from the public domain, so I'm not surprised that this news is coming out now. I think the best people to blame for all of these were Barcelona, over the years when Messi was at his peak, if the wages to which he is demanding is too much, why not sell him out, Ronaldo had the same issue with Manchester United, if the player feels he is getting good offer somewhere else and you check out your financial level as a club you cannot sustain him anymore, you should let him go, Ronaldo left Manchester United at his peak as a world best player, Manchester United as a then had all the trappings to keep Ronaldo, but when they check that the offer Madrid were bringing and the players desire to live and seek for a greener pasture somewhere, Manchester united had to allow him go. if Barcelona felt the wage bill on them from Messi's contract was heavy on them financially, instead of keeping Messi and going Bankrupt, they would allowed him to go earlier.

what do you mean by being greedy? Isn't he worth that amount of money? If he his not worth it,  I believe he won't get that kind of wage regardless of the need to get such a player.

Messi is not just an ordinary player but a world class that's one of the best that ever played the game of football. He has shown himself and proven it over and over again and that's why such an amount is being paid to him. A lot of the Barca fans are still supporting the club and buying the clubs Jessy just because of Messi and you don't know that it takes the likes of Messi to attract that sort of thing even after he has left the team? It's not as if it's a forceful payment so yeah, he deserves whatever he's getting  because he works for it.

I think he could set the price even higher, so it is solely the responsibility of  Barcelona's management which allowed such big-value contract. For such money they could have two-three players from the primary class.

Regarding Messi himself, his life style evidences that the guy kinda like to buy a white horse  and he doesn't care of Barcelona fate, ^{though, I think he would do the same with the any club}.

[eisen33]

I didn't even suspect that the root of the problem is so deep, the media writes about problems with registration, but in any case, this is a big problem for Barcelona, ​​because they lost Olmo until the end of the season. And now Olmo can use the clause in the contract and leave the team as a free agent, which will be an even bigger problem for Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona will have to pay the remaining 48M to Leipzig for the transfer, and this will entail a problem with financial reporting.

Greed isn't the case here, the team agreed and wanted to pay Messi this sum which he found okay and did accepted and he was really exceptional all the time he was at Barcelona, he was never a problem to them and he was wort ever money that was paid him so i didn't see a reason to think he was greedy, moreover, there was a time he did requested a slash of his salary so he could still stay back and help the team through their financial crisis but then the team refused as they taught they cant afford him and then he moved to PSG, he had a high price because he had the value.

[Rockstarguy]

I wont call it greedy. Once you know worth then keep your value to be at the top range. Messi is the best player in the world am not surprised he requested such amount from Barcelona.

You can agree with me that Messi made a great impact to the club, won trophies including the UCL, local league and other trophies to the club. He was part of the team that Barcelona the most deadly team in the world years back. Is'nt he worth the money?

There is nothing wrong with the amount of money Barcelona agreed to offer, if it was something that was so much for the club to afford the club has the right not to go for him .  The most important thing is that even with the money that was offered to Messi was still not a waste, the player was able to give the club is best performance,  I'm very sure Barcelona really knows what they wanted then and they went for it which the player delivered for the club not just with trophies but memorable performance that can't be forgotten. I don't think the money was so much for Messi, he deserves it. He is one of the reason I so much love Barcelona as a club.

I told him earlier before now. Messi deserved all the amount mentioned on that image. And it was a never a force for the club to pay that money. The question is did they pay the money in the end? Of course we know they did. If he is not worth it, trust me the club will remove the matter from their table.

Such a player like Messi even at his retirement age any club will be willing to take him as part of their team. With the little strength he has, he can guide the players and teach them in the field to win games.

[Marykeller]

Inasmuch as the figure is far too much, have we thought about the countless trophies he won for the team? His dedication and all that. Messi spent 21 years of his with the Barcelona team. He joined the club from the club youth academy. From there, he won the world's best player and formed a formidable attack on the frontline that compromised him, Louis Suarez, and Neymar. So many of us can't forget how the frontline of Barcelona was then, that the Barcelona team so many of us fall in love with is because of Messi.

The impact that Messi made on Barcelona can't be forgotten. Will still be remembered. Given these figures as what Messi earned in Barcelona, have they mentioned the endorsement the team had because the world's best player "Messi" was in Barcelona

Let's not forget that this is an X post, we can't trust the integrity of the values quoted as the values are not certified by Messi and Barcelona themselves.

That said, every international player is a business person whether we like it or not, there will always be negotiations and they will certainly not settle for less. So calling Messi or any player greedy is out of place, it's business, it's contractual, it's never by force. Messi did his best when he was in Barcelona as one of the best, Barcelona has to pay for it. Barcelona had the issue when Messi was there and after he left and still wanted him back before they were stable, so what's the point?

[crwth]

Do you think they should focus on the young people rather than the stars in the club? I think it should be somewhat of an approach to them that building a team surrounding established people would be expensive. I guess it just contradicts his "loyalty" statements.

Unless the club's priority is with the star, they would have to have that in the budget. It's a matter of priority and choice.

I think it's better to think of long-term success now and have younger talents. There are many risks, of course, but that's a different topic.

[Hirose UK]

But some Messi and Barcelona fans consider it fair amount to be received by player like Messi, they think no great player can be obtained with low price and salary.
When we think logically and calculate everything, it is clear that Messi has indeed helped Barcelona lot to achieve various successes but there is high price that makes Barcelona suffer with financial crisis that not only lost Olmo but also Pau Victor, both of these players are certainly not registered and that must be a heavy blow for everyone who creates sense of disappointment.

[Slow death]

Barcelona's bankruptcy should be the responsibility of the managers because they are the ones who should analyze the value and condition of each player's contract, they are the ones who should analyze the value and conditions of each coach they hire. If they had had good managers, then today the team would have continued to be very strong and with great financial stability. Keeping things from the past will not solve Barcelona's problems in the present, Messi is no longer at Barcelona, ​​he is in the USA and I think he deserves to stay away from past controversies.

[Strongkored]

The party to blame for Barcelona's bankruptcy is the management, not because of one player, because the management offered Messi a contract and it must have been because they saw his contribution.
If the club doesn't have that much money, then why did they force themselves to offer such a huge value? The answer is because the club knows they will get a bigger return, but unfortunately the poor management of the club made Barca a bankrupt club.
Just curious why Fabrizio only posted about Messi's contract, because it could be that Ronaldo and other expensive players also received more fantastic figures.

But does this have anything to do with gambling? I thinkk the moderators will move it to an off-topic board

Any sport is still a business. Loyalty, in my opinion, doesn’t mean you should do anything for free. I would argue that Messi made sure his payment was well worth it and boy did he perform for every dollar. Barcelona knew what they were getting into. It was their choice and it was always the right one. To have Messi playing for you is a privilege.

[Lucius]

Professional football is a big business, and everyone tries to take as much profit as possible from it. We can talk about someone being more or less greedy, but most players are in it for the money first and foremost, and only then for football as a sport. When we take into account that the demands on the players in terms of obligations are getting bigger and bigger, I am not surprised that some charge a lot for their services - but it is not only their fault, but also those who fulfill their demands.

Even if you say that Messi destroyed Barcelona, ​​I think that what is in their contract is well agreed upon, that whether they win or lose, Barcelona seems to be prepared for it. Moreover, and it seems that they respect Messi and trust this popular person.

And from what I see, even if Messi is paid a lot, I also think that he deserves it because he worked hard for it, that's why Barcelona offered him that contract payment,
and take note Barcelona knows how to fulfill their agreement even if the result is not good.

[nelson4lov]

Barcelona had a choice between funding Messi and letting him go and they did it for as long as they could and damaged their finance in the process. In a sense, they did bit more than they could chew and still paying the price for it. They were away that Messi's contract was running them to the ground yet they decided to keep it running for years. It was not until they went backrupt that they stopped.

Barcelona should be blamed. Not Messi.

Messi is not responsible for the club's financial problems; when he departed, the club was still in good financial shape, and things only went worse due to the disastrous administration that followed. The money shown in those images was only for the last four years, and he could have earned more anywhere else at the time that the contract was presented. Let us not forget that he played for the club for 9 years and earned the club more money than he received.

Messi was literally Barcelona money making machine, from shirt, to sponsorship, Barcelona should be grateful he made them relevant and put them in a good financial condition for years.

[EFS]

The numbers are normal. Keeping the undisputed best footballer the world has ever seen comes at a price. And when I compare it with other sports, I don't see anything abnormal.
We are not talking about an ordinary player. No football player in the world has achieved what Messi has achieved. Maybe there won't be another like him for another 100 years. Maybe the game of football will change, but we will never see anyone better than him.
What Messi has brought to Barca is much more, both sportingly and financially. It's pointless to talk about these figures here. We are a lucky generation who had the opportunity to watch him live.

You're right. Barcelona shouldn't blame Messi because they have few options. If they think it is too big amount of money to pay Messi's salary, Barcelona can sell Messi to other teams. Inter ever made an offer to buy Messi, and there are some other teams ever tried to sign Messi. So, it doesn't make sense if Barcelona to blame Messi. Barcelona management should have lack of capability if they can't predict the potential of crisis of they keep Messi in the squad.
