Ex-president Barcelona Josep Bartomeu sent a direct message to the director of the Gol a Gol program on Spanish TV3 when his name was mentioned on the air of the program as the possible author of the leaked contract data Lionel Messi.
– I’m sorry to hear that I was called a possible informant about Messi’s contract, it’s a complete lie. Disclosure of professional contracts is a very serious and completely illegal topic. It’s easy to talk on TV and blame, but we’re not kidding, because it will end in court. By the way, Messi deserves what he earns for both sporting and commercial reasons. And without the pandemic, Barça could well have paid for the announced figures, ”says Bartomeu.
Earlier in the Spanish media there was a material that describes in detail the terms of Messi’s current contract, which allegedly spelled out 555 million euros.
