This was told by the president of the Catalan club Joan Laporta. Messi played for Barcelona from the beginning of his professional career -from 2005- until the summer of 2021, when he was forced to leave the club.
Laporta said that under the terms of the agreement with the former board of directors, the club had a deferral of the payment of Messi’s salary.
“The payments are due in 2025 and are made without hesitation. The amount is included in the club’s payroll and will not affect compliance with financial fair play requirements, which is good news,” La Porto was quoted as saying by La Vanguardia. .
Messi played for Paris Saint-Germain for two years and this summer he signed a contract with Inter Miami in the United States.
