At Barcelona, Messi has spent the entire duration of his senior career after first moving to the club in 2001. Messi joined Barcelona aged 13. He made the first team debut at 16 and since then, helped them scale unprecedented heights, and established the Catalan side as the best football club in the world.
According to the report, only six Premier League clubs could afford such a wage bill without it surpassing their income – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
