Messi should name his dog Isco.

This number can´t be true. No club that isn´t owned by some arabic billionaire would or should ever pay anything close to that.

Yes, it can be true. I've read that it will double, because Messi deferred his wages from first two years of his contract. He basically signed 4 year, 32 mil per yr, but he was paid just 22 mil./yr for first two years so now he will be paid 42 mil.

That, and Neymar's renewal rules out Pogba in summer folks, the same about another expensive players like Marquinhos, Stones, Laporte, Verratti (hahaha) etc. We will be lucky if he can get enough money for someone like Nolito. Already today we have financial problems, imagine what will happen if we add 70 mil/yr on new wages for Messi&Ney (their salary increases plus taxes). Maybe Neymar will defer his wages like Messi did, but that's just moving your problems to the future. We are going to be bankrupt so badly...

Sport is saying his salary will go from 22.8m to 39.4m.

While I am very happy to keep Messi with us, I can't help worrying about our finances.

The reality is that his salary was raised from the 2014/15 season through 2017/18 but the club negotiated to delay the payment for the first 2 years so he will receive the salary raise for all 4 years in his 2 last years. So the real salary raise is only half of what he will receive, (4 years of salary /2). This was reported already 2 years ago but people have forgot it.

True, but it doesn't really matter, his DEFACTO salary will double for next 2 years, it will majorly screw us financially, no doubt about that.

No, the board has already budgeted for this, they already know how much the salary will increase over the summer, this is the reason the negotiation for new sponsors are taking longer than people are comfortable with. Barsa is negotiating knowing that both Messi and Neymar will stay over the next season so they have to get the best possible deal even if that takes another 6 months to negotiate. The club can for sure afford Pogba but the question is if it is the best solution, he will cost over 100 millon in transfer and over 10 million net per year in salary, you can get 2 or 3 really good player for that amount of money.

I don't remember that being reported. Do you have a link?
Also, he got a raise in that season. He wasn't earning 20m net, started doing so when he renewed. Unless he wasn't getting 20m, but only his previous 10m salary, this doesn't make sense. If so, I hope Barto made a savings account to cover for that now, if any of this is true, ofc.
