The signing of Lionel Messi has proved an astronomical success both on and off the pitch for Inter Miami. The American club is already worth 1.02 billion dollars in the market, thanks to the presence of the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner.
It only took a little time for the Argentine to leave his mark on this team, which won the League Cup thanks to Messi, as this season they also have stars like Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez.
According to American media, the team from Florida has almost doubled its market value. Inter Miami has increased this figure by 583 million dollars, for a total of 74%. Messi’s presence has helped the MLS team increase its revenue from $55 million to $127 million, moving it from the 10th most valuable club in the league to the third.
Los Angeles FC ranks as the most valuable club in MLS with $1.15 billion, while Atlanta United is second on the list with $1.05 billion. On average, an MLS club is worth $678 million, up 16% since the last analysis conducted in September 2022.
