Lionel Messi turned down £205million move to Russian club

An unnamed Russian club triggered Lionel Messi's automatic release
clause with a staggering €250m (£205m) bid for the Barcelona star, a
report claims. Spanish sports daily El Mundo Deportivo reports that
the club agreed to pay more than double the world record transfer fee,
and offered the Argentine a €30m (£24.6m) annual pay packet after tax.
Once that sum was offered Barcelona were contractually obliged to
accept it –but from that point it was up to the player whether he was
interested in leaving the club. The bid came during Messi's recent
contract negotiations with Barcelona. However, the 25-year-old
rejected the move and signed a two-year extension with Barça that ties
him to the Camp Nou until 2018. Although the club was not named it is
likely to have been Anzhi Makachkala, who are owned by billionaire
Suleyman Kerimov.


In 2011 Anzhi signed former Barça striker Samuel Eto'o, making him the
highest-paid player in world football. El Mundo Deportivo said Messi
rejected the Russian move because of his desire to continue winning
titles at Barcelona. He scored a record 91 goals in 2012 and is
expected to win his fourth consecutive Ballon d'Or. Neither is Messi
short of cash – in March it was revealed he earns £27m per year,
topping up his £13m salary with sponsorships and endorsements. Every
player in Spanish football must have a minimum fee release clause in
their contract. Cristiano Ronaldo's is the highest, standing at €1bn
(£800m)
