Although Messi was a target for Saudi Arabian clubs in the summer, he opted to move to the US.
Ronaldo signed for Al Nassr in December 2022 following a bitter split from United in his second spell at the club.
The Portugal star is paid around $75million a year on a deal that runs until 2025. Messi would have earned similar wages in the Saudi league – more than in the United States – but he still earns between $50-60million in Miami.
Messi and his team failed to reach the MLS playoffs after a disastrous start to the season but they still won the Leagues Cup and made it to the final of the US Open Cup.
