The loyalty bonus that Messi could collect just before leaving

We are certainly already experiencing the moment of Leo Messi’s decline, the last few seasons at his best possible level of play, regardless of whether or not he continues with FC Barcelona next season. The fact is that, even so, ‘La Pulga’ is still the great star of Barça today LaLiga Santander and also one of the best players today, if not the best.

When he is physically at his best and with a clear mind, there is no one who is able to match him in terms of talent; a diamond that Barça has always looked after and has renewed more than a dozen times since he was part of the first team. In one of the latest renovations, among the many clauses of his contract, an alleged loyalty bonus for years he spent at the club instead of betting on other projects.

As reported by ‘ESPN’ and as confirmed by other sources close to the Camp Nou, the the loyalty bonus is a bonus worth 100 million euros that Barça included in the Argentine contract when renovated in 2017. Half of that payment would have already been paid last February and the remaining amount was is expected to enter in June 2021, once his current relationship with Barça ends.

It is therefore interesting that Messi could enter the remaining amount of the so-called loyalty bonus shortly before leaving for Manchester City or to another club, in case he decides not to extend the contract that binds him to Barça, for the time being, until June 2021. worst possible time for the club, currently in full wage reduction negotiations with the players.

The economic situation of Barça is critical, and it will be necessary to see if Leo Messi receives 100% of the amount he needs to enter into this aspect or if, on the contrary, he decides to help the Culé entity by lowering part of that alleged clause or, directly, dispensing it in the case of packaging . All options are open today.

Is Barca in time to convince Messi?

When the presidential election takes place on January 24, 2021 and with the club’s board of directors responsible, It will be necessary to see if the talks with Leo Messi end up resulting from a contractual extension or if, on the contrary, Messi remains in his thirteen years when he leaves the team at the end of the season. It can all depend on how the culé team is marching at that moment and the titles that are achieved.
