I hope so but I thought the same about Iniesta, Xavi, Casillas etc but I suppose you're right about the money, they weren't earning Messi money.
I'd even refrain from going back to Argentina, he left there at like 10 didnt he?
He went to Barcelona in 2001, when he was 13. He spent six years in the youth team at Newell's Old Boys, his boyhood club, and scored almost 500 goals during that time!
