Alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, El Pulga is in the bottom of 10 highest annual earners when considering the monies they receive from their respective clubs.
Two years ago, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 were the two highest paid players in the world; a situation that has dwindled since then. The situation two years ago commensurate with their quality in world football, since the duo were miles ahead of their
competition.
However, they do not enjoy the maximum monies that their talents should get them, with upstart clubs paying luring quality personnel to their rosters by handing out contracts worth millions of dollars.
At the moment, despite the fact that they are enjoying the forms of their lives, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and Cristiano Ronaldo are considered cheap when looking at what is being handed to footballing juggernauts who pale in comparison when likened to them.
Such is the situation that the Barcelona ace and Real Madrid talisman are ninth and tenth in the compilation of top-10 footballers with highest salaries. The duo make a lot from endorsements but do not feel the same love from their respective clubs when
likened to their contemporaries at Anzhi Makhachkala and Manchester City.
Barcelona are aware that they must address this situation with Messi and are working on a new contract offer since the start of the summer. El Pulga has a June 2016 expiring commitment with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and the idea of La Blaugrana is to extend it for a further
two or three years and, above all, give him a wage raise that matches his quality.
Currently, Messi nets a salary of 10.5 million Euros with variables. His contract is articulated in such a way that that he gets a bonus of half a million Euros as a premium every year for every title Barcelona adds to their trophy cabinet.
So after winning La Liga in the 2010/11 Spanish top flight campaign, as well as the UEFA Champions League, his salary amounted to 11.5 million. However, with the rise in personal income tax from 49 to 56 percent, Messi took home something in the region of
10 million Euros.
