While Messi generated 700 million for PSG, the great news that Inter Miami receives

The arrival of Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, beyond the imminent sporting benefit, the club receives important news about what the Argentine's presence in the American club has generated. The MLS shared the official list of best-selling shirts this season, and Lionel Messi's is the one that appears first on the list, hinting at the significant amount of income that the player produces for the club with only his shirt. It should be remembered that the official store was sold out in the first days.

According to TUDN, the effect of Lionel Messi was important in the first year with the PSG team, having generated profits close to 750 million dollars for the Ligue 1 team. Reports indicate that Messi generated more than 300 million of dollars in advertising to reach the figure of almost 750 last season and that more than 10 sponsors joined, increasing that area by 13%.

The list includes the shirts sold from January 1 to September 12 and, although it does not show exact quantity data, the position occupied by the 35-year-old striker already exposes the madness that has been unleashed around him since his presentation at Inter Miami took place in mid-July. That is to say, it gave them half a year ahead of the rest.

What other players sell the most jerseys in MLS?

Behind Messi appear the Brazilian forward Joao Klauss from St. Louis City and the German Hany Mukthar (Nashville SC), current MLS Ballon d'Or winner. The Argentine Sebastián Driussi, from Austin FC, and the Mexican Carlos Vela. Messi, a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, has become a sporting phenomenon across the United States since he announced that he was ending his extraordinary career in European soccer and moving to the United States. Former Barcelona player Sergio Busquets, reunited with Messi in Miami, is also on the list in 13th place, one above the Mexican Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández, of the Los Angeles Galaxy.
