Just days away from his debut with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi gives shocking news to Beckham

Lionel Messi is getting closer and closer to making his long-awaited debut with Inter Miami. Curiously, the Argentine player's first game would not be in MLS, but in the Leagues Cup, where U.S. clubs face Liga MX clubs in a new summer tournament. Now, ahead of his debut match, Lionel Messi has unexpected news for David Beckham.

With just weeks to go before Argentine star Lionel Messi arrives to shore up the U.S. soccer league, MLS set a new attendance record after 82,110 fans turned out to watch the Los Angeles derby between the LA Galaxy and LAFC. It seems that interest in soccer in the United States is growing and the arrival of a player like Messi will be important for the growth of the league.

Lionel Messi would make his debut with the club in the match against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup, but before that, his official presentation with the team is expected to be on July 16, 2023. Miami and Beckham want to welcome the Argentinean player in style and therefore, a more than memorable presentation is expected in South Beach for the arrival of one of the greatest soccer players in history.

How much will Messi earn at Inter Miami?

The club's president, Jorge Mas, announced in an interview with El Pais that the Rosario-born player's contract ranges "between 50 and 60 million dollars a year" for the profits that Lionel will earn from the sale of subscriptions to Apple TV to watch MLS and the sale of jerseys. An important figure for the Argentine soccer player for his future.
