Jorge Moreowner of between miami to sign Leo Messigave an interview to the newspaper ‘El País’ where he mentioned the impact of the Argentine star’s arrival on MLS and all the details of your contract. He also specified Sergio Busquets and other possible signing and admitting in the conversation that he is a follower of Real Madrid, love that he now shares with the North American club and the Real Zaragozawhere he is the president.
The billionaire businessman of Cuban origin explained that the Argentine contract will be “between 50 and 60 million a year”, less than what he was offered in Saudi Arabia. He will also have a stake in the club when he retires and a share of revenues from global broadcasting, whose rights are owned by Apple TVas well as selling equipment for adidas.
Mas recounted the idea of carrying Messi. “In 2019 we started thinking about how we would take it Miami, a global city, on the rise. We like people when they think about football USAThink of Miami. You have a good life and it’s all about business. Everyone wants to move here. We pay no local or state taxes…”.
In addition, he said that “there is a very important element of family. Messi is in your hemisphere, almost at the same time as the Rosary beads. It was more important to sell him the idea of soccer in the United States. It is the largest commercial market on the planet. Messi can convert the MLS in one of the two or three biggest leagues in the world. In the history of the sport there are two events here: the arrival of Pele in Cosmos of New York and of David Beckham in 2007 in The Angels. Messi It will raise the league to another level. I think he’s coming in wanting to leave his mark and he can do it beyond football. When he retires, he will have a stake in the club.”
Later life like that of David Beckham or Michael Jordan
The owner assured that “I imagine a life after football for Messi almost the same as in David wave of Michael Jordan. You will be able to continue your work in a market that will not stop growing. You’re going to have opportunities where you’re nowhere.”
The same goes for negotiations
Regarding how the negotiations for his signing were conducted, he explained that it was a “long process. It took me three years. A year and a half was very intense. Many conversations with his father. Jorge. I saw it finished at the end of May. David talked to Leo, just about football, because he plays. I don’t want to put pressure on him. we already talked Barcelona, Miami, Rosario, Doha… I spent all of World Cup in Qatarwatching Argentina. To close it, the contract of Apple. Conversations with Apple They are doing well and the interests are aligned. If soccer grows USA, he will benefit. It’s fair”.
About adidaspointed out that “he is already a player of adidas. He will receive from the sale of shirts, but the same goes for other great athletes.” While the MLS “He didn’t have any money, but he was key in helping with sponsorships.”
The effect that the presence of Leoindicated that “I predict that the membership of the clubs will increase by five or 10 in three years. The average American is interested in the best player in the world. Here you will find many Premier, Laliga, the MX of Mexico .More than MLS.There are fans of Manchester United, Madrid, Barça… That will change.”
Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba
George More also refers to the arrival of Sergio Busquets. “For us it is important to surround Messi of players of his level. we are talking to someone Busy for about a year or more. In the locker room this will be very important. More for boys from the academy” and admitted they will sign “two or three” more players. One could be Jordi Alba. “He has spoken,” he said. And he also announced that “Luis Suarez It is under contract, it has a clause, and I don’t know if that will come out. In Mary said We have also talked, but it seems that he is going to sign with another team. All announcements are before July 15.”
In the margin to talk about Leo Messi and other signing topics, Jorge More did not think to answer the question about his favorite team: “From Madrid. The love for soccer entered me Santiago Bernabeu in 1973. I was white for many years and I carried it in my heart, you know Florentino Perez. Now I’m pink and black between miami. And be the president of Saragossa it also changed my loyalty. I liked it Saragossa and in extraordinary hands.”
“In five years, Zaragoza will have a top stadium in Europe and a team in the First Division”
And finally he talked about that project he started on Real Zaragoza. “This is a well-developed project in which I represent a group of investors. The goal is clear: to return to the First Division. The base must be polished; the Academy, the training center, the project of the Romareda, very important. Not only for it to shine on the potential of the World of 2030, but for the city. Saragossa deserves a course of the highest quality. My projection for the next five years: Saragossa there will be a top stadium in Europe and a team in the First”.
