Messi , one of the greatest players in world football in the past 20 years! Since officially debuting in La Liga in 2005, he has brought Barcelona 10 La Liga championship trophys and 4 Champions League championship trophys, and he has personally won many awards such as European Footballer , World Footballer , Golden Ball Award, Golden Boot Award and other awards. It can be said that his contribution to Barcelona is destined to be recorded in history!
However, even as strong as Messi, he has setbacks that ordinary people have never encountered. When Messi was 11 years old, he was diagnosed with developmental hormone deficiency, commonly known as "dwarfism", which hindered the further growth of his bones and caused him to be unable to grow taller. At the age of 13, Messi was only 140cm tall. Later, in order to treat Messi's illness, Messi's father took his whole family to Spain, but the expensive treatment costs made them in trouble again.
At this moment, the Barcelona youth team coach discovered Messi's football talent. He went against the crowd and took the risk of signing Messi and promised that the team would pay the expensive treatment costs every month. With the efforts of many parties, Messi finally grew to his current height with the epiphyseal line of his leg bone closed. In September 2005, Messi was qualified for Spanish citizenship and made his first appearance at Camp Nou in the Champions League against Udinese , starting his legendary career. So far, Messi has played for Barcelona for a full 15 years.
Several months ago, Messi's transfer turmoil caused a lot of turmoil, and the conflict between him and the Barcelona management finally reached an irreconcilable point. Faced with the threat from his old club, Messi once again compromised and decided to stay in the team for another year. For Messi personally, Barcelona is not only his old club, but also has the grace of knowing and recreating. It can be said that without Barcelona's help back then, Messi would probably be difficult to achieve what he has today. Of course, Barcelona's senior executives are also very clear about this, and they also know Messi's popularity and market appeal better, which is the fundamental reason why they would rather break up than let Messi go.
So the question is, after 15 years of fighting in the La Liga, how much salary did the "working emperor" Messi earn from Barcelona?
05, Messi signed a professional contract with Barcelona, with an annual salary of about 3 million euros, and 6 million euros in two years;
07, as Messi gained a foothold in the first team, his value also increased a lot, and Barcelona gave a contract renewal of 7 million euros an annual salary;
08, this number rose again, reaching 8.5 million euros;
09-12, Messi won the Golden Ball Award for four consecutive years, and led the team to complete the six-champion great achievements, his The annual salary has risen to 10.5 million euros, a total of 31.5 million euros in three years;
12, Messi's annual salary rose to 15.5 million euros, becoming the top of the football annual salary list that year, and 31.1 million euros in two years;
14, Barcelona renewed Messi's contract again, giving an annual salary of 22.8 million euros, and becoming the "working emperor" in three years, and 68.4 million euros in three years;
17, this was the year when Messi's annual salary increased the most. Barcelona offered an annual salary of 40 million euros. The contract expired in 2021, and the total salary in five years reached 200 million euros.
To sum up, during the 16 years he played for Barcelona (including 2021), Messi has earned a total of 352.5 million euros (about 2.75 billion yuan). In addition, Messi also has high income from portrait fees and advertising endorsement fees every year, and the "working emperor" is indeed well-deserved!
