Messi to soon have a pay hike: Barcelona

January 21, 2014 by 888Scoreonline

So, things seem to be settling down back in Camp Nou thanks to Barca’s board members who finally decided to offer Messi a new record breaking deal. This is also good news for millions of fans who have recently been in suspense about the future of one of the finest strikers in soccer world. Unlike his arch rival Ronaldo, who fought for his contract extension with Real Madrid, Messi did not came himself forward and said nothing against the club, but his agent talked about his secret demands and why he deserves to be the highest paid player today. Matter was further heated when club vice president said in media that they cannot renew Messi contract every six month and then an untold war was started between Messi and Barca management. Thankfully, everything is now sorted out and 26-year-old Argentine footballer is ready to rule the world again. Interestingly, the news of his pay hike is announced by board member Javier Faus; this is the same man who refused to offer a pay hike to Messi last year saying he sees no reason why he should be given another pay rise.

Actually, everyone has long been talking about the money Messi takes home every month, in fact, his arch rival Real’s Ronaldo and young Brazilian Neymar both earn more than him, hence a demand has long been made from every corner that he should be paid according to his prestige and performances on the field. It is a known fact that both Messi and Faus have had a bitter relation off late and none of them is supposed to appreciate each other on any public platform. Messi even once said that Mr. Faus knows nothing about football and none of the board members is as good as Barcelona players are. Describing their improved relations, Faus said, “It is something which is happily resolved now, as Leo has said on a number of occasions. There was no bad intent meant from me, or from Leo.”

Club President Sandro Rosella also agrees on the new proposal that would probably make Messi as the best paid footballer. The investment fund manager said, “(He) is the best in the world and he has been that for the last five years, whatever the awards say. He will continue playing for Barca. I would second the president’s words — he is the best player in the world and he deserves the best economic treatment.”
