Inter Miami stirred up the transfer market this summer with the recruitment of Lionel Messi after the Argentine star decided to leave PSG. The reason David Beckham and Inter Miami successfully persuaded the 2022 World Cup champion to join the ranks of the team playing in the American professional football tournament (MLS) is partly thanks to the generous salary.
Before the former Barcelona star appeared, Venezuelan striker Josef Martinez was the highest-paid player at Inter Miami, a club based in Florida. Calculating, the former Atlanta striker regularly pocketed a salary of US $ 4 million per year from Inter Miami.
However, Martinez now has to look up at Messi’s “huge” salary. Specifically, Messi will receive a salary of 54 million USD per year, which is 50 million USD higher than the Venezuelan striker, Martinez. That is indeed a terrible disparity, like the peak and the abyss of wages between Messi and his Inter Miami teammates.
