PSG is preparing to apply the Beckham model to Messi
9.02.2021
Paris Saint-Germain is planning on how to pay Lionel Messi`s high salary if he agrees to join the club. In less than five months, the megastar will most likely be a free agent and the French are among the favorites to attract him. The French magazine France Football explains that officially Leo will have to receive a lower salary than in Barcelona now in order to fit into the financial framework of PSG. However, the club is ready to apply the technique used in 2013 to lure David Beckham. At the time, Parisians did not have the funds to provide the midfielder, but guaranteed him side income from various foundations in which Qatar participates. So in the end, Messi would get what he wants. According to France Football, the Argentine currently collects 74. 2 million euros a year from salaries, which is much more than that of the most expensive in PSG - Neymar (48. 9 million). The club is obliged to follow the rules of financial fair play and therefore must find side ways to satisfy Messi`s claims.
Another question is how exactly the French will cope, because Neymar is about to sign a new contract, probably at a higher salary, and indications for the same come from Kylian Mbappe.
