Argentinian football player Lionel Messi, who recently completed a move to Paris Saint Germain, is partially paid in cryptocurrency, according to media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The French capital club has agreed a two-year deal with the former captain of FC Barcelona with an annual salary of $41 million, a sum that could be increased with rewards and bonus payments, and could be also extended to a third year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly after the deal was announced, PSG revealed that part of Messi\u2019s wages includes a cryptocurrency, in the form of the PSG Fan Tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Messi, who moved on a free transfer from his former Spanish club, reportedly received a $30 million signing bonus, a package that has included the club\u2019s token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The token has a market capitalization of a little over $100 million, and it is currently trading at about $35.3, according to Coin Market Cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
