After his departure from France’s Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has chosen his next destination. The newly minted World Cup champion reportedly turned down an offer from Al-Hilal that would have paid him roughly $428 million per season.
Soccer legend and newly minted World Cup champion Lionel Messi is set to join U.S. Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami CF next season, according to reports from the BBC’s Guillem Balague and soccer news-breaker Fabrizio Romano.
Inter Miami is the 11th most valuable MLS club at $600 million, per Forbes, and is majority owned by Jorge Mas and soccer legend David Beckham is a co-owner. Apple also announced Tuesday that it is producing a documentary on Messi and his World Cup career that will debut on Apple TV+. While the MLS is not considered a top soccer league in the world, trailing other historic entities including England’s Premier League, Germany’s Bundesliga, Spain’s La Liga, and Italy’s Serie A, the MLS, founded in 1993, is one of the newer soccer leagues in the world.
