What is Lionel Messi’s PSG salary?
LIONEL Messi has been described as one of the greatest footballers ever.
He signed with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in one of the highest-profile transfers of them all.
What is Lionel Messi’s PSG salary?
Messi joined PSG in 2021 from Barcelona and was placed on a two-year contract with the professional football club based in Paris, France.
His decision to leave Barcelona came down to the club’s inability to extend his contract due to their crippling financial problems and a deal with the French side too sweet to refuse.
PSG are the only team from France in the top 20 world’s richest football clubs.
The attacker’s contract with PSG is worth £26,144,250 (€30million) per year and receives a weekly salary of roughly £58,487.
Messi’s two-year contract for the French side expires in the summer with the option to extend his stay in Paris being agreed by both the club and the player.
This differs from other players such as Kylian Mbappe who is solely responsible for extending his PSG contract or not.
Since joining PSG, Messi has played 71 times, scoring 31 goals, recording 34 assists and lifting the title in 2022.
