David Beckham Takes First Inter Miami Roster Decision After Lionel Messi Announcement Receiving Much Needed Salary Relief

The soccer world still can’t get over the staggering transfer of Lionel Messi to MLS. The Argentinian made an unexpected decision to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami. It was an unexpected move, as he rejected both a billion-dollar deal from Saudi Arabia and an emotional return to his boyhood club, Barcelona.

However, now his future looks sorted, as he is going to play in a Miami jersey. While there’s still time to see him in action, Beckham seems to have already made a few changes to the new season’s roster.

David Beckham makes crucial roster decision

Messi will be looking to begin his new season for Inter Miami in style. While everyone at the club will be looking to link up with La Pulga, one player from Herons won’t be able to play alongside the Argentine. This comes after a report suggesting that Beckham will be releasing one of his squad players.

The player who is on the brink of leaving is Robbie Robinson. He is being released from the roster because of several health issues. The 24-year-old has struggled to maintain his well-being and cement his place in the squad. This has forced the Herons to take such desperate measures.

Robinson’s contract was said to move to a supplemental slot, however, his exit will give Miami major salary relief. After all, Messi’s arrival has increased the salary cap of the club, thus resulting in tough calls. Perhaps this is the first step Beckham takes to balance his books. Surprisingly, they are also set to receive a massive billion-dollar boost with the help of Messi.

Lionel Messi hands Inter Miami a billion-dollar valuation

Messi’s arrival at the DNV PNK Stadium presents numerous opportunities and is considered by Beckham as one of the most remarkable sports business deals ever. According to sports and business expert Joe Pompliano, Messi’s addition will potentially double the club’s current valuation of $600 million to reach $1 billion.

This provides a substantial financial boost to the Florida-based club. Beckham’s soccer club venture has generated an impressive $255 million in just five years. This is a huge achievement considering he initially purchased the club for only $25 million. It also yields a remarkable 40X return. Indeed, it is a major milestone for Miami.
