[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman was resentful that the club might have insiders.
Barcelona won 2-1 against Athletic Bilbao in the 21st round of Spanish La Liga in the 2020-21 season held at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain at 5 am on the 1st. With this day’s victory, Barcelona scored five consecutive victories, surpassing Real Madrid to the second place.
After this match, the spotlight was neither Messi’s fantastic free kick in the 20th minute, nor Antoine Grizz’s big success. The contract document agreed between Messi and Barcelona drew everyone’s attention. Spain’s El Mundo released the details of the bonus clause, starting with the details of the contract signed by Messi and Barcelona at the time of renewal in 2017 on the 31st. According to the report, the total amount Messi will receive from Barcelona by this season is about 553.35 million euros (752.8 billion won).
The media conveyed the facts and described it as “Messi’s pharaoh contract that destroyed Barcelona.” At present, Barcelona is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a debt of about 1,173 million euros (KRW 1.57 trillion).
However, coach Kuman was angry with the report. “I can’t understand why Messi said he ruined Barcelona. Messi has been showing his skills as a soccer player for several years. What appeared in the media was the contents reported with malicious intent to players who contributed a lot to Spanish football and Barcelona,” he blushed.
One of the questions about the details of Messi’s contract locally is the route of contract leakage. Some are predicting whether Barcelona has an insider. “We need to find out how Messi’s contract was released to the media,” said Kuman. They are content that cannot be released. There are people who want to hurt us. If a leak occurs inside the club, that’s very bad. If there is an insider in the club, that person will have no future here.”
Barcelona and Messi have not yet denied the contents of the contract leak. However, it is the position that it will take legal action against the media that leaked the contract details.
