Lionel Messi who is the captain of Spanish giants Barcelona is reportedly ready to take five chiefs of the club to court over how his contract was leaked to the public in what the Argentine was not happy about.
The Argentina international is entering the final months of his contract at the Nou Camp as Barcelona chiefs continue to fight for him to sign a new deal.
Over the weekend, El Mundo was said to have published full details in Lionel Messi's contract in which the development brought out the anger in the player and he is ready for legal battle with those behind the leakage.
According to the report on UK Sun, Lionel Messi is aware that only five Barcelona chiefs have access to details of his contract and he is ready to drag them to court.
This latest development will come as a huge disappointment for the club considering how they have been persuading the player to sign a new deal.
Interestingly, the report added that Lionel Messi is also ready to drag El Mundo to court over how they got the vital information about him.
El Mundo report revealed the 33-year-old to be the highest-paid sportsman of all time with him coining in an eye-watering £123million a year salary which is a missive one for the Argentine.
