The best soccer<\/a> players in the world don't necessarily land in Major League Soccer, but every now and again, a superstar joins an MLS team. That's what Lionel Messi<\/a> did when he agreed to join Inter Miami on a historically large contract. The details of Messi's massive contract with Inter Miami<\/a> have certainly helped the Argentine athlete settle into life in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Messi left Paris Saint-Germain, fans and pundits speculated about where No. 10 would take his talents<\/a>. Some fans thought he'd go back to Barcelona, which was his team for most of his career. Others thought a Saudi team would lure him away with a huge contract worth $400 million yearly. On July 15, Messi ended speculation when he signed with Inter Miami<\/a> on a blockbuster contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal is worth $54 million a year, and it's for three years. When the contract ends on December 31, 2025, Messi will have made at least $162 million from the deal, according to Capology<\/a>. This was the biggest contract in MLS history. But the club and its owners had to sweeten the contract even more before Messi signed. He got an ownership stake in the club and a flat percentage of the commercial revenue from Apple and Adidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans' reactions were overwhelmingly positive. Inter Miami, co-owned by David Beckham<\/a>, was a floundering franchise. Adding Messi instantly gave Miami a lot of fans<\/a>. When Messi made his MLS debut, tickets were very expensive, and a lot of celebrities attended to watch him play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the deal will last for at least two and a half years, Messi bought a huge mansion in South Florida, according to Bleacher Report<\/a>. He bought a $10.8 million mansion with eight bedrooms and nine-and-a-half bathrooms, totaling nearly 10,500 square feet of space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home's lavish interior includes entertainment suites, offices, and VIP rooms. It also has a pool and two docks in the backyard. On top of that, his home is only five miles away from the stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
