The Messi effect, look how many millions Inter Miami is now worth thanks to Lionel

Inter Miami went from being just another team to being the most attractive in MLS with Lionel Messi. The best player in the world is having an impact that is impossible to measure in the franchise that is reflected not only in the results (two victories in two games) but also in the economic sphere.

On the one hand, the cost of the franchise skyrocketed considerably and it is entering millions of millions in sales of shirts, tickets and new sponsors, etc. Now, on the other hand, the Transfermarkt portal did a study of the evaluation of the squads of the United States clubs before and after the arrival of Messi, and the difference that the Garzas made is simply abysmal.

Prior to Leo's signing, Inter Miami was ranked 12th in the league with an estimated value of 43.6 million euros. However, with the top Ballon d'Or winner in its ranks, the franchise founded by David Beckham climbed to the top position with a valuation of 83.6 million. Who completes the podium? New York City FC (66.8M) and Los Angeles FC (55.4M). That is to say, the Garzas get a difference of almost 20 million per second, that is without counting the imminent arrival of Tomás Avilés.

Messi is five games away from his first title with Inter Miami

Lionel debuted in the Leagues Cup with two wins in a row and will now face the Florida classic against Orlando City in the round of 32. The matches in this competition are not back and forth, so, in the best of cases, the Rosario could lift his first trophy if they successfully pass all the phases counting the final.
