While Messi reached a value of 180 million, the price of Lamine Yamal in Barcelona

Lionel Messi is the best player in the world or at least that is what France Football magazine and FIFA say with the awards of the Ballon d'Or and The Best. That is why he more than deserves to have one of the highest salaries in the world, with the 50 million dollars a year he earns at Inter Miami. Meanwhile, in the last few hours, the salary of Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's 'new Leo', and how much his pass is worth was known. Spoiler: he is far from the Argentine.

It is clear that since Leo began his career until 2023, football has changed a lot and those who were at the top worldwide have changed, almost all of them except for him. And just as players came and went from world leadership, the money handled in Europe and the rest of the world also changed a lot, both in transfers and salaries. 

In this context, the salaries and values of the footballers changed a lot. In fact, at the time Gareth Bale had revolutionized everything when Real Madrid spent 100 million on him and today it seems commonplace. In fact, no one bought Messi because his market value was 180 sticks of European currency, while today that would be a little more accessible for the best teams in the world. In this framework, everything surrounding the economic situation of Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old sensation of Spanish and Equatorial Guinea nationality, was revealed.

The money that Lamine Yamal moves, Barcelona's ‘new Messi’

Xavi Hernández is currently starting Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old striker who emerged from the Catalan team's youth system. In the last few hours it was confirmed that his market value is 50 million euros (and everything indicates that it will continue to rise) and that his salary at Barcelona is 3 million euros, the same as Ansu Fati, for example. Without a doubt, he is still far from Messi's numbers, but he promises to continue growing over time.
