Leo Messi is being rewarded for his career in MLS, where he is playing alongside Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergi Busquets under the orders of Javier Mascherano.
The connection between the former Barcelona stars makes Inter Miami a threat to teams in North America, even though the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner is nearing the end of his career.
The contract that Leo Messi signed in 2021 with the Blaugrana club has been revealed by Spanish media El Mundo, and the amount and bonuses included in it are undoubtedly the most luxurious contracts in sports history.

Barcelona reaped its rewards, winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey twice before the expiration of that contract, under which Messi earned a whopping 555 million euros net over four years.
After taxation, the former Barcelona legend is believed to have taken home around 297 million euros.
"This is a fixed salary, with image rights, a series of multi-million dollar bonuses, daily allowances and other allowances depending on objectives," El Mundo reported.

Leo Messi's reward was partly linked to the number of matches he played and Barcelona's qualification for the Champions League, both of which were guaranteed during the term of the contract in question.
As a result, "Pleshti" was paid around 210 thousand euros per day after deductions, in the period between 2017 and 2021.
This means that on average per week, Leo Messi has earned 1.4 million euros, twice as much as Kevin Durant in the NBA.
