Messi becomes highest earner in MLS
Throughout my professional journey, I have constantly endeavored to ignite inspiration and forge connections among individuals through my unwavering passion for football. This particular encounter promises an unparalleled chance to reminisce those indelible instances, while experiencing the profound emotions that have left an indelible mark on my trajectory.
Messi is officially the MLS' highest earner.
Messi joined Inter Miami in July following the expiration of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, despite receiving more financially rewarding offers from Saudi Arabia.
At the age of 36, Messi accomplished his lifelong ambition by leading Argentina to victory in the World Cup held in Qatar in December. This momentous achievement was the pinnacle of his illustrious career. Furthermore, Messi's impressive accolades include four Champions League titles and ten La Liga titles with Barcelona, along with a remarkable seven Ballon d'Or awards.
According to the MLS Players Association, Messi is now the highest-paid player in the MLS, earning over $20 million in guaranteed salary. He has a base salary of $12 million and is under contract with the club until the conclusion of the 2025 MLS season.
The investment in Messi has already started yielding returns as he led Inter Miami to their first major trophy, winning the Leagues Cup just a month after joining. In an interview with Spanish publication El Pais, Inter Miami part-owner Jorge Mas stated that Messi's annual earnings would range between $50 and $60 million.
Mas confirmed to El Pais that, in addition to his wage, the 35-year-old will receive supplementary income from the guarantee of becoming a co-owner of the club upon retirement. He will also receive a share of the profits from the MLS broadcasting deal with Apple TV and from the sales of the team's kits by Adidas. The managing owner emphasized the significance of the Apple TV stipulation in finalizing the agreement.
