<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a>’s players union revealed the salaries of all 29 teams in MLS for the 2024 season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> is the league’s highest earner at $20.4 million, while Inter Miami is the highest spending team in the league with a budget of $41 million.&nbsp;



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/st.-louis-city-sc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St. Louis CITY SC</a> is the team with the lowest budget in the league at roughly $12 million for their entire roster. Messi makes more in salary than 86% of the rosters in the league.



Now, reviewing some of the players listed in the MLSPU 2024 salaries, some eye-raising things have been noticed. Namely, there are “MLS Pool” players that are being paid by the league but have no clubs attached to them.



<h2>Review of Strange MLS Salaries</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn"></div>


Jozy Altidore, who has not played professional soccer since 2022 and has not played in MLS since a poor stint with the New England Revolution, is still under contract with MLS. The former USMNT striker is still being paid $2,242,574 by the league, which owns all of the players’ contracts.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="570" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240517_BUS_126678_Michael-Bradley-1024x570_b02e5233.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=570" alt="" class="wp-image-126681" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/Michael-Bradley-1024x570.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/Michael-Bradley-300x167.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/Michael-Bradley-768x428.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/Michael-Bradley.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Michael Bradley</figcaption></figure>



Michael Bradley, who retired last year to take up coaching, is also being paid $725,000 by MLS for 2024.



The remaining players who have contracts with MLS but no clubs are:



<ul><li>Corentin Jean – $788,400</li><li>Chris Mavinga – $702,500</li><li>Adama Diomande – $660,000</li><li>Dantouma Toure – $104,334</li><li>Owen O’Malley – $76,401</li></ul>



Then there are clubs still paying compensation to players who are no longer in MLS, as is the case of Santiago Sosa of Atlanta United, who is on loan to Racing Club.&nbsp; Sosa is listed as being compensated $778,100 by MLS. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-makes-more-in-salary-than-86-of-the-teams-in-mls"></div>


Then there is Joaquín Torres, now playing in Chile on loan from the Philadelphia Union, making $349,800.

MLS 2024 Salaries: Strange tidbits of wages being paid

miniaturas

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a> annual salaries have been released by the MLSPU, and there are some shocking and eyebrow-raising numbers. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luis Suarez</a>, for example, is earning only $1.5 million in wages, while Xherdan Shaqiri of the Chicago Fire is the fourth highest-paid player in MLS at $8.5 million.



Another tidbit is that top future stars like Diego Luna and Federico Redondo make under $500,000 annually. The most striking data point is that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> alone makes more in wages than the entire rosters of 25 teams.



Here is a breakdown of Messi’s salary compared to other teams in MLS.



<h2>Salaries in MLS by teams</h2>



Lionel Messi alone makes $20,446,667, while Inter Miami as a whole is spending $41.6 million. Tata Martino’s side is the highest spending team in the league. The second highest spending team is Toronto FC at $31.4 million, which includes the high contracts of Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn"></div>


The Chicago Fire ($25.1M) and Nashville SC ($21.3M) round out the top four spending teams in MLS. This is where Messi surpasses the rest: at $20.4 million, the Argentine’s salary is more than the combined roster salaries of teams like the Seattle Sounders, NYCFC, DC United, Portland Timbers, and Columbus Crew.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="461" height="1024" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240517_BUS_126607_GNpmIjiW0AEHloU-461x1024_2ba35f9a.webp&amp;width=461&amp;height=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-126614" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/GNpmIjiW0AEHloU-461x1024.jpg 461w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/GNpmIjiW0AEHloU-135x300.jpg 135w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/GNpmIjiW0AEHloU.jpg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px"></figure></figure>



The lowest spending team in MLS is St. Louis CITY SC at just $12M, less than the salary made by Lorenzo Insigne, who makes $15.4M.

In a huge road win for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-city-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NYCFC</a>, which has now positioned the Pigeons to fourth in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> East standings, and with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-union" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Union</a> dropping to ninth, a raccoon stole the spotlight.



The match eventually ended 2-1 in favor of the New York side, with goals by Alonso Martinez and Hannes Wolf for NYCFC and Argentine Julian Carranza for the Union.



In the 20th minute of the first half, a wild raccoon found its way onto the field and began running around, escaping capture for about four minutes.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/inter-miami-staff-breaks-silence-on-mls-rule"></div>


The raccoon was able to evade the Union staff, running from the goal area all the way near midfield. Eventually, through the use of a trash can, the animal was captured.

Removing the raccoon from the field took a lot of effort, as the staff needed to use another trash can and some board material to eventually secure the animal.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>&nbsp;is having a great 2024 MLS season&nbsp;with&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a>. So far, Leo has 10 goals and 12 assists in nine matches to be a top candidate for Most Valuable Player.



After being eliminated from the Concacaf Champions Cup against Monterrey, The Herons seemed to be in huge trouble, but, Messi led a remarkable turnaround. 



Inter Miami have five consecutive victories over Sporting Kansas City, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nashville-sc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nashville SC</a>, New England Revolution, New York RB and&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cf-montreal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CF Montreal</a>. As a consequence, they’re first place in the Eastern Conference.

<h2>Why is Lionel Messi not playing for Inter Miami vs Orlando City?</h2>



Lionel Messi&nbsp;will not play for&nbsp;Inter Miami&nbsp;against&nbsp;Orlando City&nbsp;as a precaution by head coach Gerard Martino. Leo was the victim of a brutal foul on his left knee in the game with CF Montreal and they don’t want to take any risks. 







Furthermore, Messi won’t even be in the bench as part of the substitutes. There’s a lot of uncertainty regarding his status for next Saturday’s game facing DC United.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


Although Lionel Messi is absolutely focused on delivering the MLS Cup for Inter Miami, it’s also important to remember that the 2024 Copa America with Argentina is a priority for him. That tournament starts on June 20th in the United States.

MLS: Why is Lionel Messi not playing today for Inter Miami against Orlando City?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a> likes to do soccer their way, from countdown clocks, overtime during the regular season, and the old-school MLS shootout. It’s not MLS until <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-biggest-flops-reloaded-20240103-BUS-95726.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> changes the rules.&nbsp;



In the case of injuries, the league has established that any player who requires medical staff to come on and take the player off the field must wait a period of two minutes to return to the pitch.



The rule was created as a way to prevent time-wasting, but last weekend the rule was put to the test when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> was kicked and needed to be attended to by medical staff. On the touchline, after a visible foul, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> was forced to play with 10 men as Messi sat out for two minutes, ineffectively “punishing” his team for a foul he had received.



<h2>Inter Miami Staff Speak on MLS Time-Wasting Rule</h2>



In a media round with reporters, Inter Miami’s assistant coach Javier Morales pointed out that MLS will need to do a better job of knowing when the two minutes should be applied and when they shouldn’t.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-listed-as-questionable-for-clash-against-orlando-city"></div>


“What we are saying is that the rules cannot be black and white; there must be room for interpretation, especially with this being tested. It’s not something that comes from FIFA; it’s a trial being conducted, and there needs to be an interpretation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240515_BUS_126338_lionelmessi-1024x576_a3c3f536.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-125645" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/lionelmessi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/lionelmessi-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/lionelmessi-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/lionelmessi-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/lionelmessi.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



“In Leo’s case, we are losing the game 2-0, there is a collision with two players, and you (the press) know that Leo is the player who wastes the least time and stays on the ground the least. He is in pain, he has to leave because of the collision, and we are not trying to waste time; we want to win the game. There must be an interpretation of the rule in such situations,” Morales stated.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/river-plates-pablo-solari-again-on-mls-teams-radars"></div>


Due to that collision, Lionel Messi not only was not on the field for a key free kick, but it also resulted in him missing out on his team’s match against Orlando City on Wednesday.

Pablo Solari has been one of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/river-plate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">River Plate</a>’s most consistent forwards over the past two seasons and is under contract with the club until June 2027. The 23-year-old has 24 goals and 14 assists in 82 games for Los Millonarios and has won three titles with the club.



 Still, despite his knack for great finishing and high speed, Solari is often used as a second-half substitute, never really cementing his place in the starting XI under the team now coached by Martín Demichelis. 



According to TNT Sports in Argentina and Maximiliano Grillo, River are now looking to cash in on Solari, who may have reached his potential at the club.



<h2>Who in MLS could use Pablo Solari? </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20210211#CMS#9"></div>


The LA Galaxy signed two DP wingers in the winter, so it’s unlikely they are in the running for Solari. Solari’s price tag was in the $10 million range when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-galaxy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy</a> were after him in the winter.

According to sources who spoke with Bolavip, Real Salt Lake has been an admirer of Solari, and a few <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">East Coast teams</a> could also be interested. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/chucky-lozano-to-san-diego-fc"></div>


Solari can play down the middle but is most effective on the right wing. He has also played on the left side of midfield.

Kevin De Bruyne has played nine seasons with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester City</a> and has won 15 championships with the club and scored 102 goals in 379 games.

<h2>San Diego FC Wants Major Stars</h2>

San Diego FC is set to enter MLS in 2025 as the league’s 30th and potentially final division 1 side. Owned by Egyptian-British billionaire Mohamed Mansour, the club is thinking big as they are also chasing after Hirving Lozano to accommodate the large Mexican demographic in the area.

San Diego FC is MLS’ most expensive franchise ever, having entered the league at half a billion dollars. De Bruyne is reported to no longer be happy living in England, but with a mega deal on the horizon, will most likely see out his contract with City before moving to MLS.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and Inter Miami did it again. In what has become a trend for them in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a>, The Herons came back from a deficit to secure an important victory. This time, it all happened in Canada against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cf-montreal">CF Montreal</a>.



Montreal took an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals by Bryce Duke (22′) and Jules-Anthony Vilsaint (32′). It was another period in which Gerardo Martino’s defense looked really bad. That should be a concern going forward.




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240302#BUS#108745"></div>


However, Messi took charge and participated in almost every goal for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> to produce the comeback. Leo was the victim of the foul which allowed Matias Rojas to score a sensational free kick for the first goal (44′) and started the play that led to the 3-2 by Benjamin Cremaschi (59′).



Right now, the Argentine legend is the favorite to win Most Valuable Player considering he has 10 goals and 12 assists.

<h2>MLS: Lionel Messi leads comeback for Inter Miami vs Montreal</h2>



Following the victory against CF Montreal, Inter Miami remain in first place of the Eastern Conference with 27 points in 13 matches. Unlike what happened last season, all indications suggest that, with Lionel Messi playing a full year, they will secure a playoff spot.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


However, it’s important to remember that Gerardo Martino will lose Messi during the summer due to Copa America, so they must accumulate as many victories as possible. The comeback in Montreal helps in that goal.

Video: Lionel Messi leads another great comeback for Inter Miami against CF Montreal

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi </a>is currently the best player in MLS helping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> to retain the top spot in the Eastern Conference. After winning the 2023 Leagues Cup, he is on a mission to give The Herons their second title in franchise history.



Although there was a bitter episode with the recent elimination in the Concacaf Champions Cup, Messi revamped the team with four consecutive wins over Sporting Kansas City, Nashville SC, New England Revolution and New York RB.







Now, during a match on the road against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cf-montreal">CF Montreal</a>, Lionel Messi suffered a brutal foul and, due to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> rules, the star had to leave the pitch for at least two minutes. That prevented him from taking the free kick just outside the box.



However, the main concern was his knee as, at least for a moment, it seemed that a serious injury was possible because Messi struggled to get up. In the end, the player was able to stand up after receiving medical attention.

Surprisingly, without Leo on the field, it all turned great for Inter Miami as Matias Rojas scored one of the best goals of the week. Inter Miami were 2-0 down in Canada, but stormed back for 2-2 at halftime.

Inter Miami return to action following the events of the last Matchday, where Lionel Messi, the star of the Florida team, garnered headlines on sports sites worldwide for his outstanding performance. Messi orchestrated 5 assists in the remarkable 6-2 home victory against New York Red Bull.



Now, the Argentine and Inter aim to maintain their position as leaders of the Eastern Conference. They understand that securing a victory is imperative to achieve this goal. Their opponents, Montreal, currently hold 12 points, just two points below the Play-in positions. The Canadian team is eager to accrue points to edge closer to securing those coveted spots.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> is currently the best player in the MLS after a sensational start of the season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> with 10 goals and 12 assists in eight matches. He leads both categories.



After being eliminated by Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup, the sole priority became the league and The Herons look unstoppable thanks to 24 points as first place in the Eastern Conference.



However, in order to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-crew">Columbus Crew</a> and fight with other teams such FC Cincinnati or New York RB, Angel Di Maria suddenly became an option to boost Messi’s chances in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a>. According to coach Gerardo Martino, it’s a very complicated move due to financial regulations.



“I echo everything that’s being said and discussed. Once again, I don’t need to talk about Angel’s qualities, but honestly, and even though there’s almost two months left before the transfer window opens again, I find it hard to see how Inter Miami could afford to sign him.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240510_BUS_125159_lionelmessi-1-1024x576_fa6c2592.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-112917" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/lionelmessi-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/lionelmessi-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/lionelmessi-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/lionelmessi-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/lionelmessi-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lionel Messi could get big help from Inter Miami (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Will Angel Di Maria play with Lionel Messi in Inter Miami?</h2>



Leo Paradizo of ESPN sparked the rumors of Angel Di Maria coming to MLS in order to play alongside Lionel Messi. They’ve never been together at the club level. It’s important to remember that the Argentine wing is currently a member of Benfica in Portugal.







Nevertheless, the star becomes an unrestricted free agent in the next few weeks and, after participating with Argentina in Copa America, no one knows for sure what his future holds. Of course, Martino would be delighted to have him on board. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


“The sports aspect isn’t the issue. Very special circumstances would have to arise. We already have a squad that fits within the budget required by the MLS. We have no way of bringing in another star until the rules change. It seems to me that for the moment, it will be difficult for him to come.”



If Angel Di Maria wants to help Messi, the key factor would be accepting a huge salary reduction, which seems very unlikely. Despite this, perhaps the desire to play alongside his great friend could convince him to compromise on his financial demands.

Inter Miami coach gets real on Angel Di Maria's chances of playing with Lionel Messi in MLS - Bolavip US

In less than a year, Lionel Messi turned Inter Miami around both on and off the field. While his arrival immediately brought the team success, it also helped the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> side increase in popularity and revenue.



In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> Chief Business Officer Xavier Asensi recently revealed the club’s projected income for 2024 will be much higher than what they used to budget before Leo.



“We have gone from having budgeted some 60-odd million dollars to end up billing some 125-130 million…. To go on to turnover this year, I expect 200 million dollars or more,” Asensi told Agencia EFE.



<h2>Messi the real reason behind Inter Miami’s revenue surge</h2>



The Spaniard worked for 11 years at Barcelona before landing in South Florida in 2021. Since then, Inter Miami have tripled revenues and went on to land the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a>, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez, which saw Asensi win Doug Hamilton Executive of the Year at the 2023 MLS end-of-year awards.

In regard to Inter Miami’s projected turnover for this year, Asensi explained that while the ability to make a global tour at the beginning of the year helps, the real factor behind the spike in income is Messi.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/fifa-president-infantinos-two-word-reaction-to-messis-performance-vs-ny-red-bulls"></div>


“There are several factors here, one of them is that Futbol Club Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, all these teams, they can do the tours when they can all do the tours. Yes it is true that we can tour when nobody at that level can tour, which is in January or February. But this, again, is Leo,” Asensi said.



“Obviously we try to pull behind him, in this sense, and adapt the structure so that this can happen. But 80% of zero is zero. If Leo were not here, what we are talking about would not exist.“



<h2>Messi’s impact at Inter Miami</h2>



Only a few months after his arrival in July 2023, MLS announced Messi led the league in top-selling shirts by the end of the year. Before that, the Argentine star’s presence had already sparked a surge of subscriptions to MLS Pass on Apple TV.



On top of that, ticket prices for Inter Miami games go through the roof, both at Chase Stadium or on the road. On the contrary, the demand for seats plummets when fans know in advance Messi won’t play.



But of course, the 8x Ballon d’Or winner has also been impactful for Inter Miami on the playing field with 23 goals and 16 assists in 25 appearances so far. In his first tournament, Leo led the club to the 2023 Leagues Cup title.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> is currently the best player of the 2024 MLS season after an amazing start with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. The Argentine legend has been unstoppable scoring ten goals in eight games.



The Herons are in first place of the Eastern Conference with 24 points in 12 matches. Following the crushing elimination against Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup, Messi is leading an extraordinary turnaround.



Miami are on a four-game winning streak in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> thanks to victories over Sporting Kansas City, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nashville-sc">Nashville SC</a>, New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls.



Despite being 36 years old, Messi appears to be fully recovered from his muscle injuries displaying an impressive level. This suggests that he could lead Argentina to defend the title next summer in Copa America and that retirement is still far away.
