Inter Miami emerged victorious in the race to sign Messi, thanks to their commercial partners Apple and Adidas. Reports suggest that Messi will receive a share of the revenue from Apple TV+’s MLS Season Pass, and Adidas has offered him a profit-sharing agreement, solidifying their long-term relationship.
Although Messi had expressed a desire to return to Barcelona, the club’s financial struggles made a reunion impossible. With the departures of Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, Barcelona must significantly reduce their wage bill before registering new players. As for Al-Hilal, the Saudi Arabian club, they will have to wait until at least 2024 to revive their interest in Messi. The football star requested to delay any potential move to the Middle East while assessing his options following his PSG departure.
Messi’s move to Inter Miami marks an exciting new chapter in his illustrious career, as he ventures into the MLS landscape. Fans around the world eagerly anticipate witnessing the magic he will bring to American football.
