Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has signed a new four-year deal
with the club, keeping him with the Spanish giants until 2021, the
Barcelona said on its Twitter page on Wednesday.
It is reported that the Argentine star will receive £500,000-a-week with €300m release clause.
Five times a Ballon d'Or winner, the Argentinean forward was
entering the final 12 months of his current deal before the new one was
agreed.
Reuters reported that Messi, who scored 37 times in La Liga last
season, has been at Barcelona since the age of 13, rising through their
youth system to become one of the most successful and recognisable
footballers in the world.
The 30-year-old follows in the footsteps of teammates and fellow
strikers Luis Suarez and Neymar, who signed new deals last season.
Local media reports indicate the deal will see Messi remain as the
club’s highest earner, while his buyout clause has been upped to 300
million euros.
