Report: Messi’s contract worth up to 555 million euros

MADRID (AP) — The El Mundo newspaper reports that Lionel Messi’s most recent contract with Barcelona is worth up to 555 million euros over four seasons. The newspaper says it had access to the document Messi signed with the Catalan club in 2017. It includes fixed incomes and variables that could reach nearly 138 million euros each season. Messi would have to pay about half of that amount in taxes in Spain. The report says the 33-year-old player has already secured more than 510 million euros of the total contract.
