According to Diario Sport, 29 clubs in the American Professional League (MLS) are willing to contribute money to pay Messi to bring this player to the US to play.
Messi ‘s future has been a topic of discussion lately. The Argentine striker has only three months left on his contract with PSG, but the two sides’ new contract negotiations have reached a dead end in recent times.
In that context, the Argentine superstar is rumored to be able to move to Al Hilal Club (Saudi Arabia) and Inter Miami (USA). According to a source from Diario Sport (Spain), the clubs in the American Professional League (MLS) are very determined to bring Messi to the country of the flag.
Accordingly, all 29 clubs in the MLS discussed the unique structure to convince Messi to join the tournament. They agree that they are willing to contribute money together to pay El Pulga’s salary, regardless of which team the player chooses to join.
They believe that Messi’s arrival will increase the value of MLS. At that time, the television rights and commercial activities of the tournament will increase. This is also part of the US’s preparation to host the 2026 World Cup (co-hosted with Canada and Mexico).
For many years, the MLS still has the ambition to close the gap with the European Championship in terms of level, influence, echo… Messi’s appearance will definitely help the tournament get more attention. much, like the Saudi Arabia tournament after inviting C.Ronaldo.
Currently, Messi is receiving a huge salary of up to £ 900,000 / week (before tax) at PSG. A single club in the MLS cannot afford that salary. That’s why they need the help of all leagues.
Another option of Messi is to go to Saudi Arabia to play. Here, he can absolutely have a huge income of up to nearly 200 million pounds/year (including salary, bonus, participation in promotional activities) like what C.Ronaldo received at Al Nassr Club.
Barcelona also intends to bring Messi back, but the chances of this club are very small. They can hardly bear the huge salary of El Pulga as before. Besides, Messi will no longer be in the same position as before if he returns to Camp Nou.
