He's been at Barca since he was like 12

He played pro soccer at 12??

He's been at Barcelona since he was 12/13 as a youth player. They paid for his medical treatment.

You're a trainee until they sign you to a professional contract at 16+.

What do you think his market value is?

They make a billion euros each year in revenue. Messi is probably responsible for 20 percent of that, especially since you can correlate the rise in revenue with his career.

20% feels conservative tbh. Obviously they were a big club and one of the giants, but I feel it's Messi plays for Barcelona, not Barcelona is where Messi plays. I think he's like MJ/Bulls. No matter what happens now that team lives in his shadow forever.

I am probably being conservative.

You think 30-35%

Apparently there is a Sponsor option with and without Messi. Lets just say the one with Messi is worth a 50% increase

Messi and C dot are by far and away the biggest draws thats why they get the money that they do. C dot the #1 Celebrity on IG

Ronaldo scores $1.6m per Instagram post says Hopper | MAA

When Beckham went to Real Madrid in 2003. The amount of money he was bringing in his first 6 months he was paying everyone wages.


Mbrappe on course to get a payrise to $600k a week, if he agrees the new contract on the table. He waits another year and he'll get more as FA.
