It is not 50 million, Lionel Messi's true salary according to the Miami press

Lionel Messi was left with the pass in his possession after ending his contract with PSG in June. La Pulga became the great attraction of the transfer market, but ended up defining its future before it officially began. Although at first it seemed that he would go to Barcelona and then he even seemed to lean towards the option of 600 million per season from Al-Hilal, finally Inter Miami ended up taking him for a smaller contract.

According to what was reported at that time, La Pulga had rejected the chance to be the player with the highest salary in Saudi Arabia, but in any case he had improved PSG's salary, earning 50 million dollars. However, in the last few hours the Miami Herald portal produced a list of the highest-paid soccer players in the United States league and revealed that Lionel receives a significantly lower amount than initially believed.

According to the aforementioned list, Messi earns 'only' 20,446,667 million dollars guaranteed per year. This means that this is his real salary no matter what happens with Inter Miami this season. Thus, it would have been evident that the 50 'kilos' that were initially discussed had to do with stipulated earnings from his royalties from Apple TV and Adidas, added to other objectives and benefits. However, he continues to maintain that amount as the leader of a ranking that is escorted by Lorenzo Insigne with his 15,400,000 million.

Messi still hasn't finished the season with Inter Miami

Although in recent days there has been more talk about his possibility of leaving, the stoppage and his vacation, the truth is that Leo could still play one last match against Charlotte for the MLS regular season. The Herons will face precisely that team tonight without Messi, but then they will do it again to say goodbye to the year on October 21.
