Miami, FL – January 30, 2024 – Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami CF not only transformed the soccer landscape in South Florida but also skyrocketed the MLS club’s value to over $1 billion, as reported by Sportico. Inter Miami CF, formerly valued at $583 million in the previous year, witnessed a remarkable surge in its financial standing following the acquisition of Messi, along with his former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. This star-studded trio led the club from the bottom of its conference to clinching the Leagues Cup championship. Building on this success, Inter Miami made headlines again in December by securing the signature of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, yet another former Barcelona teammate of Messi. Looking ahead, Inter Miami is gearing up for the regular season starting on February 21, engaging in international preseason matches on the road.
