In addition to his 50 million, Beckham's whim so that Messi is happy at Inter Miami

Lionel Messi is the best player in history but his salary does not place him as the highest paid footballer in the world. Although at PSG he received an important figure of 35 million euros per season, he was not even the one who earned the most in the squad (Kylian Mbappé has the best salary) and in any case, competing against the amounts offered in Saudi Arabia was made impossible.

Now, the captain of the Argentine National Team had the possibility of being the athlete with the best salary in history, but he rejected the proposal of 600 million euros per year in Al-Hilal. Instead, he decided to continue his career with MLS Inter Miami, where he will earn a net $50 million, although that amount will be considerably higher for all the bonuses and side contracts.

As is well known, among the benefits offered by the Florida franchise to the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) are royalties from Adidas sales in the MLS, from new subscriptions to Apple's streaming platform (which will broadcast the United States league) and actions of Inter Miami itself. For this reason, Leo's earnings will be much higher than the 50 million that were announced, especially in the first months.

It is estimated that MLS would become the third most watched league

The arrival of Lionel Messi generated great optimism among the executives of the American league, so much so that they anticipate that the MLS will integrate the podium of the most watched championships worldwide. This would generate huge profits for Leo, as well as the massive sale of shirts, which are expected to sell out in record time.
