Inter Miami's co-owner has revealed the inner workings of the ambitious deal struck with Lionel Messi to bring him to the US.
The Argentinian icon's impending transfer to the fledgling franchise took the football world by surprise, with the 36-year-old having spurned the advances of former club Barcelona and the riches of the Saudi Pro League. However, the departing Paris Saint-Germain forward ultimately found the opportunity to play in a city where he already owns a property too hard to resist.
The Camp Nou hero is one of the most bankable sports stars on the planet and it appears a unique deal was formed that will see the superstar take a share of revenue and profits garnered from his arrival stateside. Hence why a contract created with some of MLS' leading commercial partners was formed.
