<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>‘s presence has created a revolution in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a>. Fans around the US are going desperate to attend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> games only to see if they can witness the Argentine star’s magic, and Chicago Fire know that.



The Red Machine welcome the Herons to Soldier Field on Wednesday, October 4, but the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner may not take part in the game. Leo has been struggling with muscle fatigue, and his availability for this clash remains uncertain.



Of course, Messi’s absence would be a huge blow for thousands of fans who purchased their tickets only to see the world champion in action. Therefore, the home side came up with an interesting solution for those spectators.



<h2>Chicago Fire come up with great idea for fans who bought tickets to see Messi</h2>



In a statement, Chicago Fire addressed the possibility that many fans may be disappointed not to see Messi at Soldier Field this week, but their idea is for everyone to live a great experience regardless of the players who take the field.



“To show our appreciation, the Chicago Fire will be offering a $250 account credit toward new memberships for the 2024 season – or a $50 account credit for anyone unable to use the new member credit – to all single-game ticket buyers who attend our match vs. Inter Miami regardless of which players are able to make an appearance on the pitch,” the club statement read.



Besides, the club will offer several in-match activations as well as a surprise halftime show aiming to please the 61,000 attendees and make those who only want to see Messi feel the ticket was worth it.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> has missed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a>’s last three games, including the US Open Cup which his team lost 2-1 in the final. The official explanation is that Messi is day to day, due to a slight pain he is feeling on old scar tissue on one of his legs.



A report began to circle around on Sunday that the Argentine World Cup winner actually had a 2 cm hamstring injury, but the timeline given by Caden DeLisa made little sense given Messi had injured himself against Ecuador, with the kind of injury that was specified Messi would have never been able to have played against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto FC</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231002#BUS#71149"></div>


Now on his Twitch channel, TyC Sports reporter Gaston Edul, who has a closer relationship with Messi than most journalists and covers the Argentine national team closely cleared the air regarding the state of Messi’s injury.



<h2>Messi injury update</h2>



Gaston Edul said via twitch: “If Messi’s environment, the medical team, and the Inter Miami staff say that he suffers from a scar from an old injury he suffered, then it is irresponsible for someone to say something other than that.



“His lack of participation is more for prevention than for injury because it could get worse if he does not feel ready to participate.”



With a US Open Cup final lost and time running out on Inter Miami’s season to make the playoffs, Tata Martino’s side will need a win on Wednesday against the Chicago Fire to keep hope alive of making the post season.

Argentine reporter pours cold water on Lionel Messi having a serious injury - Bolavip US

It has been a horrific season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto FC</a> in Major League Soccer, the club had high expectations as they entered the season as one of the highest spending teams in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a>. Their two biggest stars Italians <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lorenzo-insigne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> and Federico Bernardeschi were supposed to take the league by storm under the watchful eye of Bob Bradley, a proven winner in MLS and US Soccer circles.



None of that happened, and misreporting of a rift between two of the highest paid DPs in MLS was just one of many issues surrounding the club. TFC has been dreadful for most of the season and the firing of Bob Bradley has done little to help a team at a tipping point. Rumors around the future of the disgruntled Italian stars have been present since the summer, but on huge contracts many teams will balk on trying to sign them.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1719"></div>


On Saturday evening while watching his team lose yet another match Lorenzo Insigne, who is recovering from injury, got into a verbal altercation with a fan, so much so that he had to be pulled away from continuing to argue. The former Napoli star spoke to Sportsnet on Monday and said his piece on the matter.



<h2>Lorenzo Insigne on fan altercation</h2>



Insigne told Sportsnet, “I knew that was irresponsible and I shouldn’t have behaved that way,” he said. “But while I was sitting there taking these insults, my family was there, my kids were there. They were crying. They thought something was going to happen to me and I kind of reacted as a father, not as a player.



“I’m a professional. I know these things should not happen. And I apologize again to all the fans of Toronto. And this won’t happen again.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> shocked the world by leaving Europe for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>, but he didn’t go to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> alone. After recruiting Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, it looks like the Argentine star wants the South Florida team to land a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> star.



Luka Modric has dropped in the pecking order this season, which is why his future in Spain looks up in the air. The Croatia international isn’t getting any younger, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, a change of scenery could be on the cards.



According to former Real Madrid player Pedja Mijatovic, the 38-year-old has already drawn interest from Major League Soccer teams, especially from the Herons, and Messi would like to play next to him.



<h2>Lionel Messi reportedly wants to play with Luka Modric in Miami</h2>



“He [Modric] has received offers from the United States, from many teams and from this one in particular,” Mijatovic told Cadena SER, via the Daily Mail. “He [Modric] already had the one in Saudi Arabia but he wanted to stay in Madrid. Messi himself has personally been interested in the possibility. In Croatia, a few days ago, Modric met Beckham, where they were eating.”



Modric lost his spot in Los Blancos’ starting eleven this season, with Carlo Ancelotti giving priority to Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos in the middle of the park.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231002#BUS#71149"></div>


<h2>How many games has Modric started this season?</h2>



Luka Modric started in two out of eight LaLiga games this term, coming off the bench in four occasions. He also started in the Champions League victory over Union Berlin.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> has revolutionized <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> since his arrival at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> in July of this year. In just one month, the Argentine has played a pivotal role in helping the team secure their first trophy in their brief history. However, his impact extends beyond David Beckham‘s co-owned team, as he has garnered significant attention for the league. 



Since Messi joined Inter Miami, the club has undergone significant transformations. Notably, the team introduced a new pricing structure, resulting in a doubling of the annual cost for certain season tickets. According to the Miami Herald, the cheapest season ticket in 2023 was $485 in the north stands, and now that same section will cost $884 in 2024.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230929#BUS#70091"></div>


Furthermore, Messi holds the distinction of being the top-selling Adidas MLS jersey on the official MLS Store website. Additionally, <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=tv_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1000lS8e&amp;ct=BolavipUS" rel="sponsored nofollow">Apple TV+</a> has wasted no time in releasing a documentary about his initial weeks in America, appropriately titled “Messi Meets America.” Here’s all you need to know, including the release date.

This is a crucial matchup in the battle for playoff qualification positions. Chicago Fire, currently with 37 points, shares the same point total as the last team currently in a playoff position, DC United. However, their goal difference is less favorable. In essence, Chicago Fire still has a chance to secure a postseason berth with a strong final push.



Nonetheless, they face a challenging opponent in Inter Miami, a team that has been on an upswing. Lionel Messi‘s squad, which appeared destined to miss the playoffs, has recently achieved favorable results and now harbors hopes of securing a postseason spot, but they will need to secure more victories to realize that dream.

Not only did the rest of the world start to pay more attention to the tournament, but Leo’s presence also helped to attract other stars.



Shortly after they landed the 7x Ballon d’Or winner, the Herons pulled off the signatures of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, which has been another boost to the league.



In just a few months, Messi made a huge impact in the US both on and off the field. Apart from turning the South Florida team around, the Argentine star already leads the league in top-selling jerseys.

According to MLS, Messi’s jersey was the best-selling shirt on MLSstore.com from January 1 through September 12, 2023. Besides Busquets, the other Inter Miami player on the top 25 is Josef Martinez.



Thiago Almada, who won the World Cup with Messi in 2022, made the top 10, where we can also find Mexican star Carlos Vela (5th). Fellow countryman Chicharito Hernandez, meanwhile, is 12th.

Fans took to social media to express their dismay at some of the pricing for the games, as in most cases season tickets have doubled for the MLS side. Season tickets for the North stand in 2023 was $485, in 2024 that same seat will cost $884.

A lower-level midfield season ticket was $3,600 in 2024 that same seat will cost $7,650 roughly $450 per game.

The average Inter Miami single game ticket next season could be between the $50-$80 range, when compared to the other major sports seeing Messi and company is still a bargain. NFL tickets in 2022 ranged from $112 on average, while NBA tickets could be from $90-$120 in some markets.



At first glance it is a no brainer that a team paying one player $50 million per year plus major incentives would need to recuperate that salary somewhere, but while Inter Miami have improved, they have also continued to show they are very much a Messi dependent team, showcased by their recent MLS skid and loss in the US Open Cup final.

Lionel Messi will still be one of the hottest tickets in MLS and sports when he and Inter Miami enter year 2 of the grand plan, 2024 is the season the club will go for broke, search for the MLS Cup and other silverware along the way. It could be a magical but pricey experience for a family of four.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlos-vela">Carlos Vela</a> has been on the best players in franchise history for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-fc">LAFC</a>. The Mexican star was the key factor for the team in their amazing championship run of 2022 to conquer the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS Cup</a>.



Since his arrival to Los Angeles five years ago, he has scored almost 80 goals and, in 2019, Vela also gave the club a Supporters’ Shield and became the Most Valuable Player in the league. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230820#BUS#49672"></div>


Many would say that&nbsp;Carlos Vela&nbsp;is the player from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> with the greatest potential in history, but he personally decided not to take great risks. That’s why, especially looking for quality of life, retirement might be close for him.



<h2>Bad news for LAFC: Carlos Vela admits retirement date is close</h2>



After the U-17 FIFA World Cup of 2005 in Peru, in which Mexico won the title, Carlos Vela was immediately signed by&nbsp;Arsenal&nbsp;to a five-year deal. As a prospect of the Gunners, he played on loan with teams such as Salamanca, Osasuna and West Bromwich. 


 

 


Then, Vela’s career was revamped at&nbsp;Real Sociedad&nbsp;in a magnificent tandem with&nbsp;Antoine Griezmann. The Spanish club paid his transfer fee and he spent six years in San Sebastian. 



Now, Carlos Vela is one of the best players in MLS with&nbsp;LAFC. However, in a surprising turn of events, he admitted retirement might be knocking on the door for him.



“With each passing year, retirement is closer. I’ve always said it and I don’t have any problem talking about that topic. I don’t know when, because in the end the mind and the body are the ones which decide when is the moment to stop, but, of course, I have only a few years left.”


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


Considering this scenario, Vela is trying to enjoy every moment on the field and cannot assure if his final club will be LAFC. “With retirement looming, I enjoy more playing. Each game is important for me. The place and where I’ll retire, I don’t know them yet. Right now, we’re in Los Angeles and I’m very happy. However, the future is not only in my hands.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>’s decision to take his talents to the United States has been a game-changer for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a>, but especially for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>.
