And if it could happen, it would be wonderful for MLS, it would be great for Messi and his family, and like everything with us, we try to take advantage of every opportunity. I can’t give more details than that because we don’t have them,” he explained.

So whatever Jorge (Mas, the owner of Inter Miami) decides, with the help (of MLS executive vice president Todd Durbin) to structure something, if we get the chance to do it, it will be original.”, he narrowed.
“Because as everyone knows what is happening in international football today, with (Cristiano) Ronaldo earning 100 million… the transfer market is exploding in unimaginable ways. We are going to have to structure a settlement that will compensate him in the way he and his family expect. What’s that? Honestly, we don’t know today, ”she concluded.
