Inter Miami could have nothing to play for before Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets land in the Sunshine State, with the MLS franchise sat bottom of the Eastern Conference and 11 points off the Playoffs.
Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, 36, stated his intention to join Inter Miami at the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract in a shock move, snubbing the riches on offer in Saudi Arabia as well as a potential return to Barcelona, where he spent close to two decades playing.
Messi has yet to put pen to paper on an Inter Miami contract yet but is expected to do so in the next month with final terms being decided. The legendary forward is expected to earn a percentage of Apple TV+ MLS Season Pass sales as well as a cut of Inter Miami shirt sales from Adidas.
