Lionel Messi has hogged the limelight since he signed up for Inter Miami in 2023. The Argentine superstar has disrupted the US sports scene as he lighted up the MLS with his silky smooth skills on the pitch.
The 37 year old decided not to renew his contract with PSG and signed a lucrative contract with the David Beckham co-owned Inter Miami. His arrival turned out to be a game changing move in the MLS as both Adidas and Apple have received major boosts in their revenues.
As per the official MLS record, Lionel Messi has topped the jersey sales record for the year 2024. Messi's teammate Luis Suarez is in second place while Los Angeles FC's Olivier Giroud is in 6th place.
Messi announced his return from injury in style as he bagged a brace alongside an assist against Philadelphia Union in the MLS. Inter Miami are all set to face Atlanta United in their next MLS game and Messi is expected to play a part in the game.
Inter Miami boss Gerardo Martino revealed the player is completely fit but given the amount of games in the coming days, he also needs to check up on his fitness in order to keep him fresh.
As quoted by Goal.com Martino said, “Leo is fine, he ended the game well. Tired, obviously. It’s the first 90 minutes in a long time, but it ended very well. He is going to travel to both games. He is available but there are three games this week with travel included, so we have to see it day by day. Wherever he is, he will surely always be missed. So, we are very happy to be able to have him back in the team.”
