Lionel Messi’s Transfer to Miami Breaks Shirt Sales Record in First 24 hours – News18

The transfer of football’s G.O.A.T to Inter Miami certainly did rock the entirety of the USA and the world. Messi has only gained more fame ever since the move. In fact, the move was so big that it broke records.

Lionel Messi’s transfer to Inter Miami broke the records for shirt sales within the first 24 hours after making a move to another team in all of sports. Messi surpassed records held by Cristiano Ronaldo, who made the infamous return to Manchester United after almost signing for their arch-rivals in Manchester City. It took the intervention of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson to convince him to switch back to Manchester United.

Messi’s record also beat the likes of Tom Brady who left his former side, New England Patriots, a side he played for 17 long years and made the switch to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which was owned by the Glazer family.

Messi has been getting things right at the moment, with his departure from PSG getting accustomed to Inter Miami.
