While Messi will earn 50 million in MLS, Rashford's new salary shocks everyone

In the current transfer market we are seeing great players leaving to earn many millions to play in very low level leagues and although most of them are players who have already completed their cycle in European football, there are also young players who prefer to earn a lot of money rather than remain in the elite of the sport. The last big contract that surprised the world was that of Lionel Messi, who decided to leave for Inter Miami, one of the worst teams in MLS.

Messi, who already conquered everything possible in his career, decided to migrate to the U.S. league where he was offered a contract of 50 million dollars per season, in addition to large sponsorships and other bonuses. With this, the Argentine star will probably spend the last years of his career in a very low level league, but living a good life.

On the other hand, Manchester United continues its preparation for the next season, for which they plan to strengthen the team, but the salary uncertainty has not allowed the club to make its first signing yet. Given this, the board has prioritized the renewal of players who have been important for Erik ten Hag and one of them is Marcus Rashford, who was the team's top scorer last season.

Rashford scored 30 goals in all competitions for United last season, more than double that of any other player on the team, and so Erik ten Hag has called for his renewal to be prioritized, as Rashford has just one year left on his contract and the team does not want to risk losing him for free next year.

How much will Rashford earn with his new contract?

Journalist Fabrizio Romano assured that negotiations between Marcus Rashford and the Manchester United board are on the right track and even assured that the 25-year-old English striker could become the highest paid player in the team. Currently the highest contract is that of David de Gea with 23 million euros per year, and Rashford is expected to receive even more than that.
