the totally crazy contract offered to Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi having fun. Far from the capital, the 35-year-old footballer happily reunited with the Argentine selection. He celebrated the title of world champion 2022 with the public while receiving a beautiful tribute from the federation which renamed the Albiceleste training center in his name. At the same time, the former Barça player caused a riot when he left a restaurant. Yesterday, he was talked about by letting go in a nightclub. In short, the Pulga, who scored against Panama, was able to recharge their batteries in the country. After a last friendly against Curaçao on March 29, he will return to Paris.

MLS still dreams of Messi

But for how long ? Leo Messi is out of contract on June 30 and he still hasn’t extended his deal. Friday, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi sent him a clear message, as well as Kylian Mbappé and Sergio Ramos, in the columns of brand. “People want to know what’s going on. We are focused on seeing them stay. We’re going to look at what we’re doing and how to make sure we can keep going, that we’re doing it right and that we’re growing.” But nothing says that Messi will stay.

Especially since the competition is fierce. Although the player has ruled out the possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia despite XXL proposals, FC Barcelona is still pushing behind the scenes to welcome him as explained on our site. For its part, Major League Soccer still hopes to be able to attract it in its nets. Recently, some media reported that David Bechkham and Inter Miami offered Messi to become an MLS franchise owner. Last week, Don Garber, the boss of the American football league, also admitted to being ready to make efforts for La Pulga.

A unique proposal

Asked by The Athletiche said: “You are dealing with the most special player in the history of football. So when there are rumors linking him to Miami, that’s great. And if that could happen, it would be great for MLS, it would be great for Messi and his family, and like everything at home, we try to seize every opportunity. If we have the opportunity to do so, it will be off the beaten track. We’re going to have to structure a deal that’s going to compensate him in a way that he and his family expect. What is this ? Honestly, we don’t know today.”

But according to information published by Sport this Monday, the MLS knows a little more. The Catalan media explain that the North American football league is determined to welcome Messi at all costs. To deal with the problem of his salary, the franchises have decided to work hand in hand. So, they came together about six weeks ago and concluded that each club will pay part of the Argentine’s salary no matter where he plays. A unique and mind-blowing formula. It remains to be seen whether this is legally possible. What is certain is that the MLS teams believe that they would all benefit financially, especially commercially, if Messi were to sign. The ball is still in the player’s court.
