Barcelona have hit out at Spanish newspaper El Mundo who have reported details of the club’s contract talks with Lionel Messi back in 2020.
The report has released details of a series demands Messi reportedly made to renew his contract which included a private box at the Camp Nou for his and Luis Suarez’s family, a private plane, a three-year deal with a €10m signing bonus, and a release clause of €10,000.
Barcelona aren’t at all happy with what has come out and have issued the following statement:
“In relation to the information published in El Mundo under the title ‘Barca Leaks, the club’s secret files’, Barcelona express indignation at the intentional leaking of information that is part of a legal process.
