The large amount of money that Chicago Fire will lose because of Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi arrived in the United States to revolutionize Major League Soccer after signing with Inter Miami this season. The Argentine left aside huge amounts of money from clubs in Saudi Arabia and even left the European scene in order to have a new experience, in this case, in the state of Florida. The entire country takes advantage of the participation of the best in the world to witness the best possible football, although in recent times this could not be a reality.

It turns out that in the last clash against Toronto, the Argentine star suffered a muscle injury that left him without the possibility of training for several days and for this reason, he was not part of what was Inter Miami's tough defeat against Chicago Fire for the MLS. This generated great disappointment and anger on the part of the local public, who broke a attendance record to be present in a new match for the '10' of the Argentine National Team.

Chicago Fire raised more than 9 million dollars alone in ticket sales where more than 63 thousand people were present at Soldier Field hoping that Messi would make an appearance on the field of play. However, this did not happen and the fans of the Chicago team had to return to their homes very disappointed at not being able to see the best footballer on the planet in action. However, the club will reward them.

The money Chicago Fire will lose

As revealed by the club's official communication channels, once Chicago Fire's 4-1 win over Inter Miami has ended, which placed it in the standings, practically all of the fans present at Soldier Field will receive a discount of 250 dollars for the 2024 season ticket. In this context, the Chicago team will lose around 16 million dollars only due to the absence of Lionel Messi on the field of play.
