Rumours: Barca to offer Messi €35 million per year

A myriad amount of money is waiting for Lionel Messi. Barcelona and their star are still negotiating the conditions for a new deal and the bosses are willing to do whatever it takes in order to keep him.

His current contract runs until summer 2018 but from January 2018 on he could negotiate with other clubs. His present salary is around €24 million neto and a new contract includes obviously a pay rise which could make him the best paid player in the world. 

Cristiano Ronaldo pened a few weeks ago a new deal with a salary of €23,6 million.

Will Barcelona really offer him such a high wage and will he accept it? He expressed the wish to return in the future to his childhood club Newell's Old Boys and has been linked with a move to other big European clubs.
