Lionel Messi has topped the charts for best-selling Major League Soccer jerseys this season, with one other Inter Miami ace also making the top 10.
MLS Soccer has revealed that Argentine World Cup winner Messi tops the list for best-selling shirts for the 2024 campaign, with Inter Miami teammate Luis Suarez in second.
They are the only two players from their club to make the top 10, with Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in the top 15.
Olivier Giroud, who was a statement signing for Los Angeles FC, is down in sixth.
Messi’s arrival in MLS has done wonders for Miami and the league, both in terms of driving up interest, revenue, and more.
The 37-year-old is still showing he can deliver on the pitch, after leading Miami to their first-ever trophy – a Leagues Cup triumph last year – and now they are top of the standings in the MLS Eastern Conference.
With Messi leading the charge in Miami, things are looking very rosy and the MLS Supporters’ Shield now looks a likely outcome.
Messi also topped the list of the best-selling MLS jerseys in 2023.
Since the former Barcelona star swapped Paris Saint-Germain for Miami last year, the veteran has scored 27 goals and bagged 17 assists in just 30 games.
