    He had a bad experience with PSG. He wasn't comfortable. As an introvert, I don't think he's interested in spending two years of his life in Saudi. He and his family would not be happy.

    He turned down the Saudi offer because he's actually gonna get more through the Inter Miami deal with getting a share of the revenue from subscriptions from AppleTV and Adidas is also giving him a share of the revenue from merchandise sales.

      First of all, all this talk about money from Saudi Arabia is hogwash. He NEVER got an official offer from the Saudi’s. He claims that he wanted to play in Europe only if it was for Barcelona. The truth of the matter is he had no other options. And I have been saying this all along, Barcelona did not want him back. Everybody is saying what a smart decision, Inter Miami was his only option.

      that's dumb. 1,2 bill in 2 years!!!!!! to give you perspective lebron whole career until he became granpa is only 520 million. the right answer is messi isn't solely make that decision based on money. if money is the main factor 1,2 billi in 2 years is the right desicion,, doesn't matter long term short term or what ever term you wanna call it.

      ​@nayanagal8849 MLS is a longer term bet. Messi also gets a stake in intermiami and a chance to start his own football club at a discounted price like Beckham. He could stay in Saudi for a few years max until his body can't keep up, and then they want nothing do with him. Whether through inter miami or a new club, Messi could be involved and paid for being involved in Football as an owner for many decades.

    • @roychen5235
      @roychen5235 Год назад

      I think Beckham only owns like 5% of Inter Miami. But it's not just about net worth. It's the cheaper buy in, the fact MLS is a stable league with no relegation and gives stable source of income to franchisees. The potential of making more if football grows in America. Being able to compete for more trophies as an owner instead of a player for as long as he wants.@@nayanagal8849

    Saudis had garrenteed money while the mls offer allowed him a runway to stay involved with football for the rest of his life. The equity stake also feeds to the ego, someone being called the goat will believe the hype surrounding them. The option to transition from player to ownership is great as a long term option.

    The most important thing for all the Americas Continent would be unifying Conmebol (South American football association) and Concacaf (North American football association):
    1) It would create a spectacular international club competition, to rival the UEFA Champions League. It would generate a lot of investment and business for a supercharged Americas Libertadores Cup: Teams from Brazilian league, Argentinian League, Mexican League, MLS (USA) League, etc.
    2) Unifying Copa America and Gold Cup in a Supercharged Copa America. A spectacular international national teams competition, similar to the 2016 Copa America, but with more teams.
    3) If we don’t do this now, UEFA (European football association) will be a monopoly.
    4) There would be more Americas teams in the World Cup, And the World Cup qualification would be super fun

      @@BMStudios711 Saudi Arabia has a population of 35 million. If just 10% of all Americans tune in that's already more than the Saudis have. Aside from the fact that most likely not every Saudi watches football (their women aren't even allowed to lol), so that percentage in reality is even smaller. On top of that, nobody from Europe, or the Americas is watching Saudi League. Meanwhile more and more people around the world watch MLS.
