<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a></strong> has begun their defense of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leagues Cup</a></strong> without their best player and the questionable competition’s biggest star, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong>. In fact, Messi has not played for Inter Miami since June 2nd.</p>



<p>In what is becoming a sad custom in MLS, Messi has only played 12 out of 25 games in 2024, and according to various reports, is expected to return in September, after the Leagues Cup.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, Inter Miami will play the Round of 32 of the Leagues Cup against fellow MLS side Toronto FC. Tata Martino did little to enlighten the press about Messi’s return.</p>



<h2>Tata Martino on Lionel Messi</h2>



<p>The Inter Miami manager stated, <em>“(Messi) keeps working out at the gym and we’re within the deadlines we’re managing (for his return).”</em></p>



<p>Those deadlines could be post-World Cup qualifying window in September when Argentina plays Chile at home and then Colombia on the road on September 5th and 10th, respectively.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong>‘s mansion in Ibiza became the focus of a recent protest by the climate activist group Futuro Vegetal. The activists breached the property and defaced the walls with red and white paint, also displaying a banner that read, “Eat the rich.”</p>



<p>The group’s actions were aimed at condemning what they describe as the illegal nature of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-big-update-on-lionel-messis-injury-as-inter-miami-star-eyes-return" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Messi’</a>s luxurious property, which they claim was purchased for 11 million euros. They argue that such a lavish expenditure underscores severe social inequality, especially as the Balearic Islands are suffering from extreme heat waves with devastating impacts on local residents.</p>



<p>In a statement shared on social media platform X, Futuro Vegetal justified their protest by asserting that the wealthiest 1% are responsible for a disproportionate amount of carbon emissions. They contend that the existing socio-economic system, supported by public authorities, only worsens both environmental and social crises.</p>



<h2>Protesters vandalize Messi’s mansion&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Messi, who acquired the San Josep estate in 2022, has yet to address the incident publicly. The renowned footballer is currently taking a break from professional activities following his Copa America win with the Argentina national team and is in the process of recovering from an ankle injury.</p>

<p>Time is ticking, and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> </strong>continues to watch matches from the sidelines as a fan rather than starring on the field. The ankle injury, which he sustained during the <strong>Copa America </strong>final, has kept him from training normally. However, Messi is following his rehabilitation regimen closely and is setting targets for his return.</p>



<p>Fortunately, the<strong> pain and swelling in his right ankle have</strong> <strong>subsided over the days</strong>. An orthopedic boot used in the early stages of recovery, along with rest and extensive physiotherapy sessions, have been instrumental in his progress.</p>



<p>According to <em>TyC Sports</em>, Messi is now doing gym work under the careful supervision of the medical staff, and <strong>aims to return to the field soon to regain his rhythm</strong>. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>, with whom he has already missed four matches (two in <strong>MLS </strong>and two in the <strong>Leagues Cup</strong>), are in no hurry to rush him back. Head coach <strong>Gerardo</strong> <strong>Martino </strong>emphasized, <em><strong>“We won’t take any risks.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Argentina’s upcoming matches</h2>



<p>Lionel Messi is eagerly counting the days until he can step back onto the field, hoping it will be in an <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> </strong>jersey. While his physical condition will ultimately dictate his return,<strong> the primary goal is to make a comeback during the next set of South American World Cup qualifiers</strong>.</p>

<p>It’s almost to the finish line, but according to a report,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a></strong>’s Paraguayan international <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/diego-gomez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diego Gómez</a></strong> is leaving the club. Gómez is coming off a fantastic run in the Summer Olympics, having scored 1 goal and assisted on two in 4 games for Paraguay.</p>



<p>At Inter Miami, Gómez found his footing after a poor start to his MLS career in 2023. From the beginning of 2024, when he helped Paraguay qualify for the Olympics, his output and general performances at the MLS level improved greatly.</p>



<p>Diego Gómez has 5 goals and 4 assists in 28 games for Inter Miami, and this season, in 12 matches, he has 3 goals and 3 assists. According to César Luis Merlo, Gómez is off to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premier League</a> side <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brighton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brighton</a>.</p>



<h2>Diego Gómez to Brighton Deal</h2>



<p>According to Merlo, Diego Gómez is set to make a move to Brighton, with an agreement in place between Brighton and Inter Miami for the Paraguayan midfielder. <strong>The transfer will see Gómez switch clubs for a fee of $14 million, with an additional $3 million available in performance-related add-ons.</strong></p>

Inter Miami reportedly sold Diego Gómez to Premier League side

<p>In recent years, Inter Miami has undergone immense changes in a very short period. The arrival of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and other European football stars has made the franchise, led by David Beckham, one of the most attractive in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The number of fans who began following the <em>Herons</em> once the arrival of one of the greatest players in history was confirmed grew exponentially, sparking a debate among the management about relocating to a new stadium.</p>



<p><strong>The announcement of a new 25,000-seat stadium was warmly received by fans</strong>. Construction began in August 2023, with an expected completion date of December 2025.</p>



<p>In an official statement to all <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> fans, it was declared that the 2025 season is <em><strong>“is expected to be our FINAL season here at Chase Stadium before moving to the new stadium in Miami.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Miami Freedom Park and the delay in its opening</h2>



<p>According to <em>ESPN’s website</em>, the opening of Miami Freedom Park could be postponed to 2026, creating uncertainty about Lionel Messi’s presence, as his contract with the Herons ends in 2025.</p>



<p>The delay in the completion of Inter Miami’s new home leaves the situation of the Argentine forward in suspense, and it has not yet been confirmed whether he will still be with the <em>Herons</em> when they make their debut at <strong>Miami Freedom Park</strong>.</p>

Tata Martino on his favorite for Leagues Cup and Lionel Messi update

<p>According to Forbes, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a></strong> is the second most valuable team in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a></strong>, behind LAFC who has a value of 1.2 billion dollars, Inter Miami is valued at $1.03 billion. It marks a 72% increase from 2023 where the club was valued at $600 million.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While Inter Miami always had high ambitions for their club, it has been <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong> that has given the club a worldwide appeal that is unmatched in MLS, and can even be said is bigger than the New York Cosmos in their hey-day.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In a study done by <a href="https://topoffshoresportsbooks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Top Offshore Sportsbooks</a> here are some of the metrics where Inter Miami have increased across the board in the one year that Lionel Messi has been on their books.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Inter Miami 2024 value</h2>



<p>In 2024, Inter Miami experienced a remarkable surge in both revenue and social media engagement. The club’s annual revenue soared from $60 million in 2023 to a staggering $200 million, marking an impressive 233% increase. This dramatic financial growth can be attributed to several factors, including heightened popularity and successful marketing strategies, as well as the significant impact of star player signings that have drawn considerable attention.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Social media metrics further illustrate Inter Miami’s growing prominence. The club’s Instagram following skyrocketed from 1 million in 2023 to an astonishing 17 million by 2024, a jaw-dropping increase of 1,600%.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Inter Miami, founded only in 2018, now have more social media followers than NFL giants the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers, as well as MLB’s most successful franchise, the New York Yankees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ticket prices for Inter Miami have also seen a notable increase, with the cheapest season tickets rising from $485 in 2023 to $884 in 2024, an 82% jump. Despite this price hike, the overall attendance figures for MLS have grown as well, with total attendances reaching 6,500,000 in June 2024, up 13% from the previous year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Without question Lionel Messi has been a major part of this success, also the team turning around form a last to first team has also made the club’s success a big factor in their hike in popularity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Since the signing of the former Barcelona forward, the club has significantly expanded and diversified its sponsorship portfolio, showcasing an impressive array of partnerships. Starting with Fracht Group in July 2023 as the main partner and official right sleeve jersey partner, the club has added Claro Enterprise Solutions as an official partner in August 2023 and Ketel One as a premium partner and official vodka in December 2023. </p>

Lionel Messi’s impact on Inter Miami’s revenue in one year

<p>Several years have passed since <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> left <strong>FC Barcelona</strong>, and due to various circumstances, one of the greatest players in history and the Catalan club have yet to cross paths again.</p>



<p>Although it’s highly unlikely for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>, which plays in <strong>MLS,</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a></strong>, which competes in La Liga, to face off in an official match, there is still a possibility that <strong>the <em>Herons</em> and the <em>Blaugrana</em> could meet in a friendly, with Lionel Messi as the main attraction.</strong></p>



<p>How is this possible? FC Barcelona are currently in the process of renovating <strong>Camp Nou</strong>. The completion of the stadium upgrades is expected by the end of 2024. Once the renovations are complete, a star-studded friendly is anticipated for the grand reopening, and Lionel Messi’s name is increasingly being mentioned as a prominent figure for this event.</p>



<p>Regarding the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to Camp Nou after several years, Herons’ President of Operations Xavier Asensi stated: <em>“It depends on when it is… Let’s talk about it.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28063524/Lionel-Messi-Barcelona-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi Barcelona" class="wp-image-151770" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi of Barcelona celebrates after scoring the opening goal during the La Liga match between FC Barcelona and RC Celta de Vigo at the Camp Nou on March 4, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



<p>In an interview with the newspaper <em>Mundo Deportivo</em>, Asensi also stated: <em>“It’s a matter of timing. The 2020 match was part of the tour that we were able to prepare. Since we played in the Leagues Cup, we don’t have the visibility of the possibility of playing a friendly. In January or December we can’t know if it will fit into the calendar.”</em></p>
