Raking in $25M From Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi Joins Hands With $41,000,000 Chinese Brand

It may be money, thrill, or variety, but Lionel Messi is never short of them. “If you’re good at something, why do it for free?” The Joker from The Dark Knight had suggested. Despite being good at something else and making an impact is demonstrated by Lionel Messi. The man dribbles with soccer balls and juggles deals in the consumer market. The South American star made a deal with a Chinese company for endorsement while already having a multimillion-dollar contract with the Saudi government.

The post-World Cup era for Lionel began on a ballistic note. Along with his many sponsorship deals, Leo got a big offer from Al Hilal that he rejected, citing no interest in money. But little do people know that he makes entry into deals that are not very common.

The demand for Messi increased after the World Cup, with many clubs offering him a contract, including an extension from Paris Saint-Germain. But Messi had decided to go to the USA, citing his family as the main reason. But that does not stop him from running and expanding his business around the globe. Recently, A Chinese wine company, Chi Shui He, was reported to have an agreement with the Argentinian captain to promote its products.
