Lionel Messi To Become PSG’s Highest-Paid Player

August 12, 2021

The former FC Barcelona and soon to be Paris Saint Germain player, Lionel Messi will be climbing ahead of his teammates Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe to become the club’s highest paid player.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner is in the French capital Paris and will complete his medical on Thursday ahead of his sensational free transfer to PSG. Lionel Messi, who has been a free agent since July, was prepared to take a hefty 50 per cent pay cut to help sign a new deal with Barcelona. The Barcelona legend earned in excess of £425 Million on his old contract. However, because of La Liga fair play regulations, Lionel Messi was unable to continue his tenure at the club.
