Lionel Messi remains the primary target of Jorge Mas, owner of Miami International, an American businessman who once spent time with the entourage of the OPE star.
Held talks with Miami international team.
Major leagues open to Messi.
The $2.5 billion broadcast deal offers the possibility.
What happened? Jerome Meary, a famous player’s agent, revealed that the discussion between the entourage of the Argentine superstar and Jorge Mas, the owner of Miami International, made progress during the World Cup in December. "He is the top priority of Miami International boss Jorge Mas," Miri explained. "They started talking before Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain, but the negotiations started again. Mas spent a lot of time with Messi’s representatives in Qatar."
Bigger picture: Messi’s contract will expire this summer. Although he still has incredible performance, the club that wants to sign him will inevitably be bound by financial fairness regulations. International Miami must abide by the strict salary ceiling of Major League Soccer, but it seems to have the support of the league. Commissioner Don Garber recently talked about how the alliance is going to "go outside the box" to build an agreement that may bring changes to the alliance.
The MLS broadcasting agreement of $2.5 billion may help to attract Messi, and the 2026 World Cup in the United States may also be a factor. Messi is familiar with the United States, especially Florida, where he spent his holiday and even bought an apartment in 2021.
