Inside the Lionel Messi to Inter Miami deal — seeing off Saudis, equity offers and Beckham and Co.’s secret trip

New York Times  

Editor’s Note: This story is included in The Athletic’s Best of 2023. Here, The Athletic details: Why Messi chose Miami over Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia How the courtship culminated in an announcement from Messi that, despite months of planning, caught many by surprise Why Miami have given Messi equity in the club as part of his deal Mas’ seat in Messi’s box at the World Cup final The talks that brought Apple to the table, with Messi offered a share of new international subscribers How Messi’s deal is structured to make him the highest-paid player in MLS history, and how corporate partners played a role in the negotiations. “I am optimistic Messi will play in an Inter Miami shirt because I think it will complete the legacy of the greatest player in our generation and will meet with the ambitions of the owners of Inter Miami to build a world-class team.” Now, four years after that expansion announcement, the Mas brothers told the group at the 1 Hotel they were prepared to make a real push to sign the Argentine legend. Mas is a showman, he wants to entertain, but he felt there was an important element in the chase for Messi’s signature that could set Inter Miami apart from other bidders: discretion. The shared background helped foster a relationship, and while Inter Miami has not been directly involved in Apple’s discussions with Messi, Apple’s involvement undoubtedly added another compelling reason for him to choose MLS.
