2020/2021 In the 2007 season, Messi will receive $ 92 million (€ 77.4 million) in the Barcelona team.
Ronald took second place among the most profitable footballers, earning $ 117 million (€ 98.5 million) from Turin’s Juventus last season, while Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star is in third place. Neimars – $ 96 million (€ 80.7 million).

The Billionaire Club is also famous Michael Jordan, but he signed his most lucrative contracts after the end of his basketball career. The former basketball player has an extremely lucrative contract with clothing manufacturer Nike, as well as the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) team Charlotte’s Hornets.
It has already been reported that Messi wanted to leave the Barcelona team before the upcoming season, but in the end failed to get the 700 million euro ransom not taken into account. Therefore, the footballer in Barcelona decided to stay for another season.
