While Messi bought a house with his first salary, Yamal earns this at Barcelona

Lionel Messi is one of the players who generates the most money in the world. In fact, according to Forbes magazine, the only one who surpasses him in this area is Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, the truth is that the man from Rosario had the possibility of being the athlete with the highest salary of all time, but he decided to put aside the 600 million euros that Al-Hilal offered him and to sign with Inter Miami, where receives 50 million dollars a year. However, when he was just starting out at Barça he never dreamed of earning so much money.

As reported at the time by the Marketing Registrado portal, when the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (8) obtained his first millionaire salary in Spain, he made the decision to buy a house for his family in Barcelona, since in his first years as a culé they were all in Rosario. Now, there is another footballer who is also taking his first steps as a Blaugrana and there is already talk about his salary despite his young age.

This is Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old Spanish attacker with a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother who is being the great sensation of world football. His impact on the culé first team was immediate despite his young age, so much so that they already signed a contract for him and he is now a regular in the calls for the Spain team, where he just scored a great goal just a couple of days ago against Cyprus.

As expected, the young Yamal began to be compared to Messi due to characteristics, quality at an early age and the fact that he was a Barcelona footballer. However, the difference in salaries between the two is abysmal, something logical taking into account the careers of both.

What is the salary that Lamine Yamal earns in his first contract with Barcelona?

Currently, the culé jewel has a contract until 2026 and, according to journalist Albert Roge, his salary is 3 million euros per season. However, the idea is to renew it until 2030 once it reaches the age of majority.
