Argentine forward Lionel Messi earns between $70 million and $80 million a year at Inter Miami. This was announced by the co-owner of the American club Jorge Mas, informs UNN with reference to Bloomberg.
Details
It is noted that 38-year-old Messi signed a new three-year contract last year, which will allow him to stay with the team until he is 40. It is expected that after finishing his career, the Argentine will become a co-owner of the club.
The reason I need world-class sponsors is because players are expensive. I pay Messi – and he's worth every penny – between $70 million and $80 million a year, all things considered.
It is indicated that a significant part of the expenses for star players of "Inter Miami" is covered by sponsorship and commercial contracts - they form approximately 55% of the club's revenues. At the same time, television rights bring only about 2%.
