Lionel Messi is currently working hard to lead Argentina to the Qatar World Cup and become the world’s best team for the first time in 36 years. At the club level, his departure from his club, Paris Saint-Germain, has been under scrutiny since his contract expires at the end of this season, but the November 27 edition of the British daily “The Times” reported that the 35-year-old superstar’s next destination will be the North American continent.
He will officially sign a contract after the World Cup.
According to the media outlet, he is close to reaching an agreement with Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer (MLS) and will officially sign a contract after the World Cup. If he joins the club, whose franchise is based in Miami, Florida, USA, known for being co-owned by that David Beckham, Messi is likely to become the highest-paid player in MLS history.
According to the New York Times, Miami would need a “partner” who can handle Messi’s outstanding skills, and Miami has already signed Cesc Fabregas, who plays for Como in Italy’s Serie B, and Gerard Pellegrini, who is currently playing in the World Cup in Qatar, as well. The club is also looking to acquire Messi’s Barcelona ally Luis Suarez, a Uruguayan currently at the World Cup in Qatar who is playing for his home team Nacional this season.
It has long been reported that Beckham has been Messi’s number one target, and that he has direct ties to the Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain and is also an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup, as well as from Adidas, with whom he has a contract, and that the Argentine and The media outlet also noted that the Argentine’s direct ties to the Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain, his role as Qatar’s World Cup ambassador, and his contract with Adidas made it possible to establish a strong relationship with the Argentine.
Paris Saint-Germain may try to extend his contract for a staggering £1.2 million per week, but The Sun wrote that “ultimately it is up to Messi” and that we will have to wait and see what happens. The Mirror, however, reported that the club where fellow Argentine Gonzalo Iguaín played until last month will be joined by the highest “earner” in the history of the league, and, while Messi’s salary is unknown at this point, listed the top 10 highest-paid players of all time in the league as follows The top 10 highest-paid players of all time in the league, with Messi’s salary unknown at this time, are as follows
No. 1: Lorenzo Insigne (Toronto FC / £9.9 million)
No. 2: Federico Bernardeschi (Toronto FC / £7.65 million = 1.3 billion yen)
No. 3: Gerdan Shaqiri (Chicago Fire / £6.05 million sterling)
No. 4: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (LA Galaxy / £5.95 million = approx. 990 million yen)
No. 5: Kaka (Orlando City / £5.45 million = approx. ¥910 million)
No. 6: Steven Gerrard (LA Galaxy / £5.13 million = approx. 860 million yen)
No. 7: Bastian Schweinsteiger (Chicago Fire / £5.05 million = approx. ¥840 million)
No. 8: Javier Hernandez (LA Galaxy / £4.95 million = approx. 820 million yen)
No. 8: Frank Lampard (New York City / £4.95 million = approx. ¥820 million)
No. 8: Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC / £4.95 million = approx. ¥820 million)
Incidentally, The Sun reported this month that Inter Miami had entered into negotiations with Cristiano Ronaldo following his sensational loss of contract from Manchester United due to a bombshell statement he made in an interview.
The departure of the 37-year-old “unattached” player, who played in the World Cup in Qatar as the ace of the Portuguese national team and scored an unprecedented five consecutive goals against Ghana with a penalty kick, is also a matter of interest, and he is expected to join a team in the Middle East this summer. The Athletic reported that the 37-year-old had turned down an offer of about £ 305 million from Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in the summer, but Sky Sports, a sports channel specializing in sports, reported that the club has made a second attempt to acquire him.
Former England defender and current commentator Gary Neville said of his Man U teammate Ronaldo after the World Cup, “We are looking for a big European club where we can sign a short-term contract for four or five months as our first priority, and we are looking for a Champions I think he wants to play in the Champions League and prove that what happened at Manchester United was a mistake. He will still have brilliant results during that period, but at the end of the season it will be time to think about his future,” he told Sky Sports.
While Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Newcastle are reportedly interested, Ronaldo has also been linked with a move to a non-European club or even retirement at the end of the season. It will be very interesting to see what the future holds for the superstar who, like Messi, has led the world of soccer for so long.
