Inter Miami managing owner, Jorge Mas, has disclosed that Lionel Messi will earn a staggering salary of ‘$50m-$60m’ per season upon joining the MLS club. Mas revealed that the process of signing the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner began in 2019, with co-owner David Beckham playing a crucial role in the transfer. After leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Messi will soon arrive in Florida to represent Inter Miami.

Mas expressed his belief that Messi’s presence in the U.S. will elevate the status of MLS, potentially making it the second or third most prominent league globally. Additionally, Mas hinted that Messi may have a long-term stake in the club after retiring, further solidifying his impact beyond football.
