Inter Miami co-owner, businessman Jorge Mas, shared details of Messi's contract with the American team. "We started thinking about bringing Messi to Inter Miami in 2019. Messi can help MLS become one of the top 3 biggest leagues in the world .
Messi will have shares in the team after retirement. His life will be like David Beckham or Michael Jordan" - Mr. Jorge Mas told El Pais.
The American billionaire admitted that recruiting Messi was very stressful and spent the entire 2022 World Cup in Qatar watching Argentina play.

Messi's salary was revealed by Mr. Jorge Mas himself to be around 50-60 million USD/year and Apple's cooperation with the team was a very important factor in bringing the Argentine superstar to MLS.
In addition, the co-owner of Inter Miami said that the team will bring in players of the same class around Messi. Sergio Busquets is one of them and the MLS team has been talking to the Spanish midfielder for about a year now.
Inter Miami will have 2-3 more top players around Messi
He confirmed that two or three more world-class players will join Inter Miami and admitted that negotiations have been held with Jordi Alba. Two other names, Luis Suarez and Angel di Maria, have also been linked, but Jorge Mas is not confident about signing them.
"We have spoken with Jordi Alba, while Luis Suárez has a contract and a termination clause. I don't know if that can happen," the American billionaire shared.
Also according to Sport, Sergio Ramos is being approached by Inter Miami. If this deal is successful, Beckham's team will own 3 former Spanish players: Busquets, Ramos and Alba revolving around Messi.
