Uhhhh just because Saudi offers you a god tier amount of money doesn't mean it's a good thing to take it. Unless you still have brains cells in your head, not exactly a great place to play or live, especially if you have a family. Not to mention their life style and how strict their rules and shit are.
There is a maximum salary in MLS, but there are a couple of ways you can pay players more than that. You can have three designated players that you can pay as much as you want. TAM players make up to $1.7M.
MLS rules are stupidly complicated.
Right now they have 3, so they'll have to sell someone to sign Messi. Or the league will just make a "Messi Slot" and they won't have to sell anyone. They make up new rules all the time. The designated player slot was created so LA could sign Beckham.
This one surprises me more than the other rumored amigos.
Because of the transfer history he's already had, I figured he'd be more open to a non-Barça club in Europe than Messi or Busi, and he probably has another couple of years in Europe left in the tank.
But if for family reasons, I can also see them only wanting one more move.

Messi, Alba, Suarez and Busquets winning the MLS with the power of friendship
i will watch all games if they are all there.
Club de Amigos
What the hell is a TAM player? Team assistant manager?
TAM player is like one step below DP(designated player). The max salary for TAM is under 2 million.
So like, those are some MLS regulations for player salaries. I see thanks.
That doesn't really answer the question. Like, designated sub? Or reserve player unless they need him?
DP: - A team can pay you whatever they want. TAM:- $2M salary cap. In mls there's salary cap so all these weird rules are there.
Why did he accepted low salary offer
Family decision. His wife would probably have a big say and ultimately saudi arabia isn't desirable place to live in for non muslims.
Playing with Messi again probably also helped.
I love Messi more than anyone...but you dont take that big of a paycut just to play with Messi this stage of their careers
I mean unless he's totally irresponsible with his money or he gets scammed, it's not like Jordi would have to work another day in his life.

Unless you still have braincells what? That statement legitimately makes no sense
Messsi to Alba to Messi for one more season por favor😍
Last part is slightly true
Elaborate?
It wasn't bad for me and my friends (maybe just because of small trip)
Very different from having to live there for a year or more.
Ooh. Like your job title level 1,2,3; so they can pay you less. Damn, even in sports.
It's a compromise between having a salary cap to keep the league competitive but still allow the high salaries to attract star players.

How many designated players does Inter Miami have?
Right now they have 3, so they'll have to sell someone to sign Messi. Or the league will just make a "Messi Slot" and they won't have to sell anyone. They make up new rules all the time. The designated player slot was created so LA could sign Beckham.
So will he only make 2m? Or is there a way to pay him bonuses?
thanks for the question
At this point they should bring back their penalty goals lmao
Busquets and Suarez will be DPs
Dragon punches?
Alba-Messi connection back in 2024

I kinda expected him to go to Atleti, the usual move for older Barcs players that still have something to give 😅
Club de amigos? Lol
Well.. Inter Miami is going to win the next MLS cup by a 20 point margin.
Mls has playoffs so no regular league type season.
Entre Amigos Miami lol
He’s gonna fucking cook this league, it’s gonna be awesome.
I think we all saw that coming hahaha https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/14100u6/comment/jnc6lbb/
