The herons are the favorites to achieve MLS Cup in the last year of Lionel Messi's contract in Miami.
Inter Miami has the flashed, most glittering selection ever assembled by an MLS team. Even the all-converted LA Galaxy side of David Beckham and Landon Donovan could not compete with the global star row of the 2025 Herons.
As far as the club value is concerned, Miami is in second place in the MLS -Waarderanglist. Business Magazine Forbes has released its list of the most valuable teams and Inter Miami is second to a west coast giant.
Lafc was appreciated at $ 1.25 billion in the final rankings, an increase of 4% on their rating from 2024. This is almost double the average of the $ 690 million competition.
In second place, Inter Miami, who saw their value rise by 17% to $ 1.2 billion. The value of the team has doubled since 2022, fueled by the arrival of Lionel Messi and the record -breaking commercial activity that has followed his signing.
The only other MLS team with a billion dollar valuable was La Galaxy, the ruling MLS Cup holders and the most successful team of League. The Galaxy is appreciated at $ 1 billion for 2025, a combination of a legendary history in the competition, recent success and a selection of talented attacking stars.
Inter Miami feel the influence of Messi
The signing of Messi follows, and perhaps even the deals to bring Pele (1972) and David Beckham (2007) to the United States. Miami drops out a League record salary for Messi and has succeeded in reaping the fruits on the field, as well as financially.
Speaking in 2023, shortly after Messi arrived, co-owner of Miami Jorge Mas spoke about the role of the 'Messi effect' and the impact he could have on the team's finances. At that time, Miami was the 11th most valuable team in the competition, but MAS insisted that the value of Miami could reach $ 1.3 billion soon – $ 1.5 billion.
“When does an athlete really have the chance to change the sport? I think that's the chance that Messi has for himself, “Mas explained. “It's all that someone talks about.”
“I think it is myself and my partners in Major League Soccer and co -owners to grab the moment we have for us to hopefully elevate Major League football in the course of the next three to five years to compete with The Premier League. “
