Messi is expected to pocket 50-60 million USD / year when going to the US to play football for Inter Miami.
After parting ways with PSG, superstar Lionel Messi will move to Inter Miami Club in the American Professional League (MLS). At this time, the two sides are negotiating the final terms and Messi can launch a new team as soon as this month.
Recently, billionaire Jorge Mas – co-owner of Inter Miami Club with famous player David Beckham – has revealed the details of the contract of the owner of 7 Golden Balls. Accordingly, Messi will pocket a desirable salary and have a stake in the team at the time of retirement.

“Messi will earn about 50-60 million USD / year,” Mr. Mas shared. “In 2019, we thought about bringing him back. We spent three years on this deal. I know Messi can make MLS one of the biggest leagues on the planet. He can bring him. to other great things, not just football. When he retires, Messi will have a stake in the club. I think Messi’s life when he hangs up his boots will be similar to David Beckham or Michael Jordan.”

In order to help Messi make the best contribution to Inter Miami, the American businessman said the team is expected to bring in more stars in the near future. Mas is confident that he can successfully recruit Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, two of Messi’s former teammates at Barca. In addition, the club also negotiated with the duo Luis Suarez and Angel di Maria.
“For us, bringing in quality satellites to play next to Messi is important. The club has been negotiating with Busquets for about a year. The club is also in contact with Jordi Alba,” Mas added.

Inter Miami is having a bad record when losing 13 out of 19 matches from the beginning of the season and is ranked last in the Eastern standings of the MLS. However, because the US professional league does not have a relegation team, the above result is not too ominous for Messi.
Inter Miami club was founded in January 2018, owned by David Beckham and brothers Jorge and Jose Mas. The team’s best performance was 6th place in the winter standings last year, winning 48 points after 34 matches. Inter Miami is being led by Gerardo Martino – another old acquaintance of Messi at Barca.
