It seems that Messi wants to renegotiate his contract even though he had a contract upgradation back in February. The arrival of Neymar and his recent problems with the Spanish Treasury could be behind this unexpected movement.
Jorge Messi, Leo's father and manager, has traveled to Barcelona with the intention of meeting with Sandro Rosell to try to renegotiate the contract of his son, says Jordi Basté in the newspaper "The 9 Esportiu". According to the journalist, George and Leo believe that Messi is not the best paid player and wants to ask for an upgrade.
Although The new contract already provides a significant improvement in salary and maintains its clause of 250 million euros. According Basté, the arrival of Neymar could have changed the wage scale and Messi wants to be recognized for what it is: the best player in the world.
The recent problems with the IRS also could be the main motive behind this movement. Messi's lawyers are trying to avoid trial for alleged tax fraud and, although there seems to be agreement with the prosecution, this does not prevent an initial appearance of the player and his father on September 17 at the courthouse in Gava.
