pretty weird strategy though. Sure, Messi will now look even greedier in the eyes of many people, but this doesn't improve their own image at all. Their decision to hand out such a ludicrous contract will be called out, there's going to be a lot of Schadenfreude about their situation and everybody knows they are leaking this themselves, which is a dick move in its own right. Making Messi the villain is one thing, but leaking this whale of a contract doesn't exactly look like a good PR decision, to put it mildly.
