But his earnings have been boosted to put him ahead of Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who earns £15m before bonuses.

Wayne Rooney, the highest-paid player in England, is on £15.6m a Lionel Messi has agreed a new contract at Barcelona with the Argentina superstar set to become the world's highest-paid player on £16.3million a year.

The player’s father Jorge met club officials Javier Faus and Antoni Rossich last week and closed what is the seventh new deal in 11 years for the four-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Messi will be 27 in June and the new deal is not expected to extend his existing contract length taking him to 2018.

(£300,000 a week).
Messi’s previous deals have been structured so that basic pay before bonuses is re-set each year of the deal according to bonuses earned the previous season.

In effect Messi will earn £16.3m next season but if he wins the Champions League the appropriate bonus will be added and the sum total will become his new basic pay level the following season.

Messi’s £250m buy-out clause will remain the same leaving the door open for Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain to make a bid, though the rigours of Financial Fair Play surely rule out such a move for either club.
