Lionel Messi received the sum of £2.4million in cash, to officially lay the foundation stones for a new stadium in Port-Gentil.
Gabon will be hosting the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations and President Ali Bongo invited the Barcelona superstar to the event.
He, however, insisted that Messi was not paid, but was fulfilling a promise by attending the event. French media, however, insist the 28-year-old was paid for the trip
