The benefits of Lionel Messi on the valuation of Inter Miami.
L’Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami had a huge impact on the club’s finances. According to commercial director Xavier Asensi, the club expects to record revenues of $200 million in 2024, more than three times the original target. This figure would be the highest in MLS history and would place Inter Miami among the richest clubs in the world. In 2021-22, only 33 clubs in the world recorded revenues above 200 million dollars (185 M€).
Thanks to Lionel Messi, Inter Miami will exceed $200 million in turnover
The rise in revenue is due to a combination of factors including ticket sales, commercial partnerships and club valuation. Inter Miami have banked on commercial partnerships by including clauses in contracts that increase payments to the club if a player of Messi’s stature signs. These clauses have paid off as the club have signed a number of important partnerships since Messi’s arrival.
Soon the richest club in Major League Soccer?
The club also benefited from the rise in the value of the team. The media Sporty estimated Inter Miami’s value to be $585 million in 2022. Club owner Jorge Mas said the value could rise to $1.3-1.5 billion next year. Messi’s arrival was a masterstroke for Inter Miami. The club not only upgraded its image, but also generated significant revenue. In 2024, Inter Miami could become the richest club in MLS
