The figure also represents a bit of the 38-year-old’s earnings, as he also gets from other revenue streams like an endorsement deal with Adidas and a revenue-sharing agreement with league broadcast partner Apple.

According to Sportico, Messi could rake in up to $150m over the course of his two-and-a-half year contract with Miami and MLS back in the summer of 2023.

Toronto FC forward, Lorenzo Insigne, is in second place with a guaranteed earning of $15.44m.

In third spot, is Messi’s Inter Miami teammate Sergio Busquets at $8.5m. Atlanta United forward Miguel Almirón is in fourth position at $7.87m followed by San Diego FC forward Hirving “Chucky” Lozano at $7.63m.
