Clubs in the American Professional League (MLS) have ambitious and united plans to realize the dream of bringing Lionel Messi to the country of flags.
According to Sport , as long as Messi agrees to go to the country of flowers, 29 clubs will jointly pay the salary of the Argentine superstar regardless of the destination. Clubs in the MLS are said to believe that Messi’s presence in the US will help increase the value of the tournament. This is part of the plan for the US to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, this national tournament with Canada and Mexico as the host countries.
MLS has just announced a TV rights contract with Apple+ platform worth £2.5 billion over the next 10 years. This tournament believes that Messi’s arrival in the US will create a great resonance, helping MLS pull back the gap with the top European leagues.
Messi currently receives a salary of £ 900,000 a week before tax at PSG. El Pulga’s contract with the Parc des Princes team will expire in June 2023 with an option to extend for another year.
However, after PSG was eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich in the first round of 16, the French press believed that Messi would not stay at the Parc des Princes. PSG fans also recently turned away from Messi when the French team was in poor form in Ligue 1.
In addition to the US, Saudi Arabia is also willing to spend tons of money to bring Messi to the national championship. But Barca is considered the most potential destination for El Pulga. “At the moment, I think there is about 50% chance for him to return to the Catalan team,” said Sergio Aguero.
Mundo Deportivo says Barca are in no hurry and are considering a number of terms before a potential transfer move for Leo. The source confirmed that President Joan Laporta only tried to recruit Messi if the player really wanted to return to Spain to play football.
Barca also wants Messi to reduce his salary, and must accept the role is no longer the same.
