Messi's MLS Surpasses Ronaldo's Saudi Pro League
The English Premier League (EPL)
continues to assert its dominance as the world's most lucrative football
league. In the 2022/23 season, Premier League clubs collectively generated
nearly €7 billion in revenue, significantly outpacing other top European
leagues.
In contrast, Lionel Messi's move to
Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami has brought renewed attention to the
league's financial growth. Recent valuations indicate that five MLS franchises
have surpassed the $1 billion mark, with Inter Miami valued at $1.19 billion—a
17% increase from the previous year.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's
tenure with Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr highlights the Saudi Pro League's
ambitions. Despite significant investments, the league's financial metrics
remain below those of MLS.
These developments underscore the
EPL's sustained financial supremacy and highlight the contrasting economic
trajectories of MLS and the Saudi Pro League, influenced by marquee signings
like Messi and Ronaldo.
The English Premier League (EPL)
continues to lead the global football industry in revenue generation. In the
2022/23 season, the EPL amassed approximately €7.1 billion, solidifying its
position as the most financially robust football league worldwide.

In contrast, Major League Soccer
(MLS) in the United States has experienced significant growth, particularly
following Lionel Messi's high-profile transfer to Inter Miami. This move not
only elevated the league's international profile but also contributed to
increased franchise valuations and sponsorship deals. Notably, Messi's annual
earnings are estimated at $135 million, with a substantial portion derived from
endorsements.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Pro League has
made headlines with substantial financial investments to attract top-tier
talent, including Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr. Ronaldo's annual
earnings are reported to be around $285 million, making him the highest-paid
athlete globally.
Despite these high-profile signings,
the Saudi Pro League's overall revenue and market valuation remain below that
of MLS. The influx of star players has undoubtedly increased the league's
visibility and competitiveness, but it has yet to achieve the same financial
stability and growth trajectory observed in MLS.
In summary, while the Premier League
maintains its unparalleled financial dominance, MLS has surpassed the Saudi Pro
League in terms of overall market valuation and revenue generation, a trend
influenced by strategic player acquisitions and robust commercial partnerships.
