As the days pass and Lionel Messi's negotiations with his new MLS club Inter Miami are completed, details regarding his contract and salary are emerging.


On the day that Lionel Messi and Inter Miami announced their... engagement, MLS pretended that it knew nothing about the case and simply announced with its announcement that the agreement between the two sides has not been finalized.


The Argentine's intention made the league "happy", but pointed out that "there is work that remains to officially finalize the agreement".


This work involved all levels, since nothing seems to be final, according to the international press. . Salaries, contract length, bonuses, signing bonuses and even the date he will make his debut are all up in the air, but not because the world champion's destination is in danger of changing.


Guaranteed over 45,000,000 euros per year


The two sides are said to be on certain levels, such as the financial one. The first information is that Messi will receive a guaranteed minimum of 45,000,000 euros each season. Which will concern his salary, signing premium and dividend income from the shares he will have in the club.


The length of the contract differs from what was heard weeks ago. Now new information states that his contract will be closed for 2.5 years, with the prospect of an extension for another year in 2026. What was written when Messi's intention to go to Inter Miami was announced was that his contract will be for 1+1+1 year.



The benefits of Messi off the pitch


Two important parameters that were discussed weeks ago have to do with the benefits of extra-competitive activities that the 35-year-old footballer will have from this agreement.


It is confirmed that Adidas and Apple+ will contribute a percentage of the new revenue generated for the two companies from the deal with Messi. These two companies will be joined by Fanatics, which has been collaborating with MLS since 2017 on the level of sports equipment, clothing and retailing.


The big difference from the initial information is that Messi will not be granted the right to buy a franchise of the league at a preferential price, as happened in the past with David Beckham and ... Inter Miami.


The question with his debut and the All-Star Game. The most likely date for Messi's Inter Miami debut is July 21, in the Leagues Cup home game against Cruz Azul from Mexico. Two days earlier, the MLS All-Star Game is scheduled, an event with many proceedings that are televised on Apple+.


The streaming platform wants Messi to make his first appearance there, without specifying at what level. Discussions range from showing up in uniform at the D.C. United stadium where the All-Star Game will be held, to participating in certain events such as the technique demonstration, to competing normally in the football game.
