The new Unrivaled women’s basketball league is reportedly pulling out all the stops to secure Caitlin Clark for its inaugural season. According to Front Office Sports, the league is crafting a “Lionel Messi-like” package to lure the superstar guard.

The recruitment strategy mirrors Major League Soccer’s bold approach in 2023, when Inter Miami CF landed Messi. Knowing a standard contract wouldn’t be enough, Inter Miami built an unprecedented offer, including a $150 million deal, partial team ownership, and revenue-sharing opportunities—Apple even agreed to split profits from MLS Season Pass with the soccer icon.

Clark’s star power is undeniable. Recently ranked as the fourth-most-marketable athlete globally by SportsPro, she sits ahead of Messi, who placed fifth. With her popularity and influence, Unrivaled aims to offer Clark a transformative deal—rumored to include a salary exceeding $1 million for a season lasting under three months, plus equity and revenue-sharing opportunities.

Unrivaled hopes a “Caitlin Clark Effect” can spark the same impact Messi had on MLS—boosting ticket sales, driving viewership on TV partner TNT Sports, and attracting top-tier sponsors.

While Clark could easily spend the offseason training, golfing, and landing lucrative endorsements, Unrivaled is banking on the appeal of a hefty payday, ownership opportunities (all players will receive equity), and the challenge of competing against elite talent to entice the 22-year-old sensation.

This full-court press could set the stage for Clark to not only join the league but become the face of a new era in women’s basketball.

[lighthousenewsnetwork]

MIAMI, FL — In what experts are calling the most efficient career move in sports history, soccer legend Lionel Messi announced his retirement from professional football Tuesday afternoon, only to dramatically un-retire approximately 3.7 minutes later, setting a new world record for shortest athletic retirement. The emotional rollercoaster began at 2:15 PM EST during a hastily organized press conference at Inter Miami's DRV PNK Stadium, where Messi, fighting back tears, declared his intention to "finally hang up the boots and focus on playing as myself in FIFA." "After careful consideration, lasting several minutes, I feel it's time to step away from the beautiful game," Messi announced to a room of journalists who were still frantically connecting to the WiFi. "I want to spend more time with my family, my PlayStation, and my collection of unopened Gatorade bottles from various sponsorship deals." However, the retirement announcement took an unexpected turn when Messi's phone buzzed mid-sob with a notification from his banking app, indicating a 0.001% drop in merchandise sales. Witnesses report seeing the Argentine superstar's eyes widen as he quickly calculated the potential impact on his children's upcoming space tourism expenses. "Actually, you know what? I still have more to give," Messi declared at 2:18:42 PM, smoothly transitioning from wiping tears to signing a new contract that materialized from thin air. "My passion for the game has mysteriously reignited in the past 220 seconds." The brief retirement sparked chaos across the soccer world. Three separate Saudi Arabian clubs reportedly drafted billion-dollar offers before Messi finished his initial retirement sentence. Meanwhile, David Beckham was seen panic-ordering 100,000 "Farewell Leo" t-shirts, only to immediately list them as "limited edition collector's items" on eBay. "This might be the most efficient mid-life crisis ever documented," noted Dr. Sarah Wilson, a leading sports psychologist. "Most athletes take weeks or months to realize they miss the game. Messi has revolutionized the retirement-regret pipeline." Teams across the globe barely had time to post their "Thank you, Leo" tribute videos, with many social media managers still adding dramatic slow-motion effects when the un-retirement announcement dropped. Barcelona's official Twitter account reportedly gained and lost verification status twice in the confusion. "I didn't even have time to start writing my farewell Instagram post," admitted teammate Jordi Alba, still holding a phone with 47 empty draft posts. "I was still choosing between 'brother' and 'legend' as the opening word when he came back." Inter Miami CF has already announced plans to capitalize on the historic moment, releasing a "Limited Edition 3.7-Minute Retirement" merchandise collection, including countdown timers preset to exactly 3 minutes and 42 seconds – the official duration of Messi's retirement. Fans can now pre-order tickets for Messi's next retirement ceremony, tentatively scheduled for next month, with the option to purchase an all-access pass to retirement ceremonies C through Z. The "Messi Retirement World Tour" commemorative NFT collection is also available for purchase, featuring digital artwork of all zero seconds he spent actually retired. As of press time, Messi was reportedly considering another retirement announcement, though sources suggest he may try to break his previous record with a sub-2-minute performance. Betting odds are already available on multiple sports books for the exact duration of his next retirement, with the under being heavily favored. Fans interested in witnessing future retirement ceremonies are encouraged to follow Messi's new TikTok channel, "RetirementReels," where he plans to post daily 3.7-second retirement announcements, each sponsored by a different crypto company.

Richest football player

Football, also known as soccer in some parts of the world, is not just a sport; it's a global phenomenon. With millions of fans, lucrative sponsorship deals, and massive broadcasting rights, it has created some of the wealthiest athletes on the planet. In recent years, one name often surfaces when discussing the richest football player in the world: Cristiano Ronaldo. However, new entrants like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and even up-and-coming young talents are also making a significant impact on the financial leaderboard. Let’s dive into who the richest football player is and the factors that contribute to such vast wealth.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo: The King of Football Wealth

As of 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo is consistently ranked as one of the richest football players in the world. The Portuguese star, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers in history, has built a fortune estimated at over $1 billion. What sets Ronaldo apart is his ability to generate income not only through his football career but also through a variety of other ventures.

Football Earnings:

Ronaldo has played for some of the biggest football clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. His on-field salary remains among the highest, with lucrative contracts that continue to elevate his earnings. His most recent move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia is estimated to bring him $200 million annually, making it one of the most lucrative sports contracts in history.

Endorsements and Investments:

Beyond football, Ronaldo is an endorsement machine. His partnerships with brands such as Nike, Herbalife, and CR7, his own fashion brand, have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to his fortune. Additionally, Ronaldo has smartly invested in real estate, gyms, hotels, and even a private jet business, further boosting his net worth.

2. Lionel Messi: The Argentinian Magician

Not far behind Ronaldo is Lionel Messi, another football legend. Messi's wealth, which is also estimated to be in the billion-dollar range, comes from a combination of his wages and endorsements. The Argentine genius, known for his mesmerizing dribbling and playmaking ability, has spent the majority of his career at FC Barcelona before a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and, later, Inter Miami.

Salary and Contracts:

At Barcelona, Messi earned a record-breaking salary, which peaked at over $600,000 per week. His transfer to PSG saw him continue to command substantial wages. While at Inter Miami, Messi’s salary remains significant, but it’s his involvement with Apple TV’s MLS deal and endorsements that keep his fortune growing.

Endorsements:

Messi’s endorsements include major brands such as Adidas, Pepsi, and Mastercard, and they remain a critical part of his financial empire. In addition to his earnings on the pitch, Messi's off-field ventures in fashion, luxury goods, and real estate have ensured his financial portfolio remains diverse.

3. Neymar Jr.: The Brazilian Superstar

Rounding out the list of the richest football players is Neymar Jr., the Brazilian forward who is one of the highest-paid footballers in the world. With an estimated net worth of around $300 million, Neymar’s wealth continues to rise thanks to his high-profile transfers, commercial deals, and his brand appeal.

PSG and Al-Hilal Salaries:

Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a world-record €222 million not only cemented his position as a global superstar but also ensured he commanded one of the highest salaries in football. After moving to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in 2023, his salary reportedly exceeds $200 million per season.

Endorsements:

Like Ronaldo and Messi, Neymar’s wealth is significantly boosted by endorsement deals with companies like Puma, Red Bull, and Qatar Airways. Neymar is a cultural icon, leveraging his image both in and out of football to maintain his financial standing.

4. Young Footballers and Future Richest Players

With the emergence of new stars such as Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Vinícius Júnior, the race to be the richest football player is only getting more competitive. Mbappé, in particular, has turned down multiple offers from other clubs to stay with PSG, where his salary is among the highest in football. His future deals, along with endorsements from Nike and EA Sports, position him to potentially surpass current titans like Ronaldo and Messi in the future.

5. Wealth Beyond the Pitch: Investments and Business Ventures

What truly sets these footballers apart is their ability to capitalize on their fame beyond the game. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and others have all diversified their income streams through investments in real estate, technology, fashion, and sports-related businesses. Ronaldo’s CR7 brand is a perfect example of how a footballer can transition from athlete to global entrepreneur.

In conclusion, while footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Jr. currently dominate the list of the world’s richest players, the future holds many opportunities for younger talents to join the ranks of football’s elite earners. With lucrative contracts, endorsement deals, and smart investments, the wealth of these athletes continues to grow, solidifying their status not only as sporting icons but also as business moguls.
