Yeah, the special 25% tax rate is available to foreigners during their first six years in Spain. So that definitely rules Messi out.

Lord Quas, that’s only foreign players (and workers, presumably). I’m not sure if Messi counts as a foreign player anymore, I think he has a Spanish passport – since he’s been there since he was a little kid.

i read somewhere that Messi senior had agreed with Barca officials to put a clause in his contract to ensure that Leo is always the highest paid player in the barca squad. So i’d imagine that this new contract is simply adding 5000 euros a week on top of Zlatan’s salary.

His father is his agent, so he was playing his role. What I would like to know is until when. Until when Mr. Messi will try to fill his son’s pockets with 500 Euro notes. Money coming from the only club that paid for his growth treatment. Money from the club that has made him what he is today. Because all of them: from Stoichkov to Figo, from Maradona to Laudrup, from Romario to Ronaldo achieved their status at Barcelona.
As a culé, I would love him to retire in “blaugrana”. But if the club feels the need to improve his wages (this is the fifth time in 4 years) due to Mr. Messi’s comments, bring on the Manchester City money whenever he runs out of contract at 28-29…

Messi’s father never said that you clown. Messi’s been saying for years that he wants to stay at the mighty Barca for the rest of his career. It’s great news for Barca and for Spanish football in general yet again proving that all the top players want to play in Spain mainly the mighty Barca and the ones we don’t want go to england and try to prove their good enough for us and if they are then we take them.
