Major League Soccer is set for an electrifying season with Lionel Messi promoting the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Inter Miami CF, Messi's team, is making headlines with significant roster changes. The club has transferred midfielder Gregore to Botafogo, freeing up nearly $1 million in payroll for roster compliance. In addition, Inter Miami is finalizing the loan of Edison Azcona to Las Vegas Lights FC and has signed Federico Redondo from Argentinos Juniors for an $8m fee plus a 15% sell-on clause. The season opener against Real Salt Lake is highly anticipated, thanks to Messi's star power, which has also led to a surge in ticket sales. Furthermore, JPMorgan has struck a deal for the naming rights of Messi's home stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, underscoring the financial impact of Messi's presence in the league.
