Lionel Messi says he’s coming to America—and he may be getting one of the most lucrative deals in soccer to do so.
“May” is a key word, though. Despite Messi telling two sports dailies in Barcelona “I made the decision that I’m going to go to Miami,” the star has yet to finalize a formal agreement. Based on media reports, though, that deal is set to be a whopper. The superstar will earn income not just from MLS, but Apple and Adidas as well, according to the Wall Street Journal and the Athletic, both citing anonymous sources.
