Why did Messi choose Internacional Miami? 5 advantages exposed, refuse pension + expand business empire
On Wednesday, numerous media outlets revealed that Messi's decision to join Internacional Miami meant that he gave up his dream of returning to Barca and Riyadh Crescent's annual salary of 400 million euros. So, why did Messi choose Internacional Miami?
After deciding to leave Paris Saint-Germain, Messi was faced with a multiple-choice question. Between Barca, Internacional Miami and Riyadh Crescent, Messi's first option is to return to Barca.
It is not difficult to understand Messi's choice, first of all, after the failure in Paris, Messi wants to return to Barca to "heal". Meanwhile, after winning the World Cup, Messi hopes to play in Europe for another year to play in the Copa America in excellent form.
However, after several meetings with Laporta, Jorge Messi found that Barca had been dragging their feet. Even after La Liga approved Barca's feasibility plan, Barca did not officially offer Messi, which means that Barca lacked sincerity.
After abandoning the Barça option, Messi was left with only two options: Internacional Miami or Riyadh Crescent. The advantage of Riyadh Crescent is obvious, that is, the sky-high annual salary. The annual salary offered by the Saudi giants has become Rashomon, but at least more than 300 million euros.
However, the disadvantages of the Riyadh Crescent are also very obvious. Although Ronaldo has repeatedly said that the Saudi league will become the best league in the world, at least the current level is still very low, and once he goes to play in the Saudi league, it means that Messi will "retire".
Marca newspaper analyzed, "In terms of athletics, the Saudi league is not attractive to Messi, he wants to play competitive matches, and the Saudi league is obviously uncompetitive." In addition, the Saudi living environment has also become a minus, which is not attractive to Messi's family.
On the contrary, Miami is attractive to Macy's family, and the favorable weather and beautiful beaches have led Messi to buy a residence in Miami. And Spanish is spoken very frequently in Miami, which is also an advantage for Messi and his family.
At the same time, the US major leagues also have a certain degree of competitiveness. Marca analyzed, "Although the major leagues have not yet reached the level of Europe's top leagues, they are indeed attractive. "At the same time, going to the United States will also free Messi from the huge pressure of playing in the top league.
In terms of quotation, Miami International can be described as full of sincerity, although the annual salary of 50 million euros cannot be compared with Riyadh New Moon, Miami International has also proposed a series of plans, including obtaining club shares, Major League America to provide a franchise (after retirement, you can form your own club like Beckham), Apple and Adidas also provide Messi with a revenue share for paid subscription users and a share of commodity sales.
In addition, Internacional Miami will also invite Martino as manager while promising Messi to sign Sergio Busquets, which means Messi will integrate into Internacional's dressing room faster.
An annual salary of 50 million euros, club shares, a franchise, a share of the sales of the two companies and an ideal dressing room environment were conditions that ultimately impressed Messi.
