“Messi’s total contract value with Inter Miami in the two-and-a-half-year contract, is valued at $150 million (about 3.8 trillion VND), including the equity in the club after he retires. Messi’s contract is valid until the end of the 2025 season with an option to extend until 2026. The figures for Messi’s current reported salary do not include major sponsorship deals (such as with Apple TV, Adidas …) and dozens of other companies he signed before and after coming to play in the US,” the Miami Herald revealed.

Accordingly, Messi’s actual income in 2024, recently announced by Forbes magazine (USA), totals up to 135 million USD (about 3.4 trillion VND), second only to famous player Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s highest earner with up to 285 million USD (about 7.1 trillion VND).

In addition to his salary at Inter Miami, Messi has additional income from the Apple TV MLS television rights deal, and shirt sales with Adidas, bringing his total base salary to around $60 million a year. These two partners are the ones who shared Messi’s salary with Inter Miami, when they convinced him to play in the US in July 2023.

In addition, other activities outside the field from sponsorship and commercial contracts, help Messi earn an additional 75 million USD. Thereby, helping him remain in the top of the highest-earning players in the world.

Not only Messi, his former teammates at Barcelona, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba, are also the highest paid players at Inter Miami today. Busquets’ guaranteed salary is 8.8 million USD, followed by Alba and Suarez with 1.5 million USD.
