Lionel Messi is set to change Major League Soccer forever. Only a few months after winning the World Cup with Argentina, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner shocked the world by joining Inter Miami.
Even at 36, Messi continues to be a sensational player and he’s without any doubt the most prominent star to ever play in MLS. Therefore, things are expected to change in the US soccer landscape with his arrival.
The South Florida team has made an effort to pull this one off, but it was what David Beckham and company wanted for a long time. Now that he’s not in Europe anymore, many wonder how much Messi makes at his new team.
