Inter Miami are reportedly closing in on a deal that'll see Lionel Messi join them next season, with the MLS side hopeful of wrapping things up after the World Cup.
The franchise owned by David Beckham have just said goodbye to former Argentina star Gonzalo Higuain, but it's left room for them to bring in Messi as their new designated player, according to The Times. The league has already housed some of football's greatest icons, with Kaka, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Steven Gerrard and even Beckham himself playing in the division.
Should Messi join Miami, he will become the highest earner in MLS history, and also become arguably the greatest player to ever grace American soil on a weekly basis. His expected yearly salary is unknown at this time, but here Mirror Football takes a look at the top ten highest earners in MLS history, and who Messi would leapfrog to the top. Below are the highest earners in MLS history, along with their yearly salary.
