According to journalist Joe Pompliano, a financial analyst and sports business expert in the US: "With Messi's huge influence and continued consolidation in the second season, Inter Miami Club currently expects to achieve revenue of more than 200 million USD in 2024. This is an extremely large number for a football club in the US. If achieved, the team of Mr. David Beckham as president and co-owner will set an all-time record in the MLS, becoming the first team to achieve revenue of 200 million USD or more in 1 year of competition".

"Inter Miami's success also benefits other MLS clubs. Inter Miami's expected revenue of $200 million in 2024 seems crazy. But it is completely achievable," Joe Pompliano said.
Also according to Mr. Joe Pompliano, based on valuation data from Forbes magazine (USA): "In 2022, Inter Miami achieved revenue of about 56 million USD. But since 2023, after the presence of Messi, it has made a leap. Messi helped Inter Miami from a team valued at about 600 million USD, to enter the "1 billion USD club group" with a value of up to 1.03 billion USD (an increase of 72%) from the beginning of 2024.
Inter Miami's 2023 revenue is $127 million. These figures alone make Inter Miami (founded only 6 years ago), now more valuable than the traditional clubs in the Premier League such as West Ham, Everton, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
"In 2024, David Beckham's team continues to make big steps forward commercially, such as having a new shirt advertising partner with a higher value. Inter Miami also recently signed a stadium naming rights agreement with JP Morgan Chase bank. Inter Miami is also the first club to have an overseas tour before the new season, specifically in Asia, earning a significant amount of money.
Above all, Messi's appeal is still extremely large, helping this team continue to increase ticket sales, matchday revenue, sponsorship, merchandise sales including competition uniforms, the number of MLS Season Pass subscriptions on Apple TV channel...", Mr. Joe Pompliano shared.

"This growth is not small for Inter Miami and the MLS. So it will be interesting to see what happens in Messi's second year in American football. According to many forecasts, Inter Miami has all the elements to reach a "huge" revenue figure of up to 200 million USD in 2024. Inter Miami is also currently one of the 20 most valuable football clubs in the world ," Mr. Joe Pompliano emphasized.
Along with Inter Miami's rise, Messi personally benefits from his income, as the Argentine star is currently receiving around $20 million per year from the club. He also has the privilege of having the option to buy shares in the club, sharing in the revenue from new subscribers watching the MLS season on Apple TV, and sharing in the profits from the apparel company based on jersey sales...
A recent poll by SSRS shows that Messi is the most popular and famous athlete in the US, surpassing famous American sports names such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods or Kobe Bryant...
