Messi's old contract with Barca will expire in the summer of 2019. Previously, El Puga's release clause was 250 million euros. With a new contract until 2021, the clause that Barca " bound" Messi was more than 50 million euros, or 300 million euros. Like previous contracts, if Barca unilaterally terminates the contract between now and 2021, the team at Nou Camp will have to compensate Messi with a huge sum of money.
In this new contract, in addition to the £350,000/week salary, Messi will be paid 50 million euros (about 1,275 billion VND) alone by Barca. In the 4 seasons from 2017-2021, this amount will be paid by Barca in installments and by the summer of 2021, Messi will earn 50 million euros. Thus, with this new extension, Messi has made 7 future commitments to Barca since his first team debut in 2004.
With this new contract, Barca also dispelled all rumors about the future of M10 this summer. Not to mention, the contract termination clause of up to 300 million euros is also a huge barrier for any club that wants to own the 30-year-old superstar.
In 2 seasons, Barca has successfully kept their bright trio Messi, Suarez and Neymar. However, the difficulty the Catalan team faces is that the club's salary after renewing with MSN has exceeded 73% of revenue. If there is no early financial balance (salary reduction, spending reduction or player sale), Barca will face a penalty of a transfer 2 years ago.
