After leaving the club for 4 years, how much salary does Barca still owe Messi?

Even though he left Barca 4 years ago, Lionel Messi still hasn't been paid his full salary and bonuses from his time playing in Spain.

In 2020, under new president Joan Laporta, Barca fell into a severe financial crisis due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the poor management of former president Bartomeu. Messi and many key players agreed to postpone receiving 42.9% of their fixed salary and 100% of their bonuses at that time.

The total salary and bonus payments that Barca have postponed amount to 121.7 million euros. They are divided into 8 payments from the end of 2021 to the end of June 2025.

Among them, Messi is the one who has had his salary and bonus delayed the most, with a total amount of up to 47.6 million euros. Of which, the final payment is 5.95 million euros, which will be disbursed on June 30.

In addition to Messi, many other former Barca players will also receive their final payments on June 30.

Sergio Busquets has 1.18 million euros left, Jordi Alba has 943,000 euros left. Many other stars like Umtiti, Griezmann, Coutinho, Dembélé, Pjanic, Roberto... will also receive a total of 16 million euros.

Clearing the nearly five-year debt would mark a major milestone in Barca's financial revival journey.

There was a time when Barca owed up to 1 billion euros. But under the leadership of president Joan Laporta, the Camp Nou team has now reduced the debt to just over 100 million euros.

Not only that, Barca also played extremely well last season, promising a strong breakthrough in revenue in the next few years.

We also cannot fail to mention the acts of former stars like Messi. Thanks to the spirit of compromise of this group of pillars, Barca "survived" through the most difficult period in the team's history.
