Lionel Messi

How much will Lionel Messi earn at Inter Miami?

Messi’s decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season was hardly a shocking one. The two-year experiment had its moments but did not yield what it was supposed to; a Champions League trophy.

The Argentine has admitted he wanted to return to Barça but the scars of his 2021 exit from Camp Nou and a lack of guarantees over his arrival meant he chose Inter Miami instead. There was also a lucrative offer to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

Messi was reportedly offered a salary of £344mto join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but instead, he has opted for a comparatively tiny £43m salary at Inter Miami instead. That will be his club salary, although the offer is though to include complex sponsorship deals with brands such as Apple and adidas that will see Messi earn much more than £43m a year from the move.
