We all know by now that footballers can ask for whatever they want on their contracts, and these the most unusual things.

After the leak of the amount that Lionel Messi earned on his contract, every single clause on a famous player was shown. There are huge case and really unusual ones on the main contacts of Europe like Neymar and a really weird one where Diego Maradona was involved.

First of all, there is the Brazilian at PSG. He was the most expensive move in football history and his contract has some really strange clauses. Apparently, he asked for a bonus for every time he applauds the PSG fans. At is not a little bonus, every time he does it, he gets 370 thousand euros.

There are some other cases like Ezequiel Lavezzi, the former teammate that Lionel Messi had in Argentina, who arrived in China in order to sign with Hebei Fortune a millionaire deal that included two houses, two cars, and a personal chef. Gervinho, for the same team, asked for a private beach to himself.

Finally, there is the most ostentatious of all, Diego Maradona. When he arrived in United Arab Emirates he did not speak the language, but he could negotiate a huge clause. He asked for a private jet in order to fly whenever he wanted to see his family in Europe or Argentina during the season.
