The main problem Di Maria would have if he arrives at Messi's Inter Miami, it has nothing to do with his salary

Di Maria's link-up with Lionel Messi would be impressive to see at Inter Miami once again, but the positions may be an issue in the team. Both Di Maria and Messi are left-footed players and often play right-wingers. At PSG, Messi would start along with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé at the front three, replacing his countryman Di Maria in the right-wing position. Inter Miami's manager Gerardo Martino plays Messi and Luis Suarez together as two strikers, with the Argentine star on the right. Di Maria may have to play behind the strikers or as a left-winger when he plays with Messi and the Argentina national team.

Di Maria and Messi tried different positions in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Messi often played as the right striker while Di Maria played as an attacking midfielder. Di Maria also played as a left midfielder, while Messi was a striker. The most successful game the two players found playing together was when Di Maria was a left-winger, and Messi was the right-winger in the 2022 World Cup Final against France, which showcased an incredibly built goal in the first half many would remember.

While Di Maria joining Inter Miami will make the fans and Lionel Messi happy, the signing would cost a lot in terms of wages. Di Maria's contract with Benfica will expire this summer, and he won't renew his contract, so he will arrive at Inter Miami as a free agent. His salary at the Portuguese giants is reportedly $10.2 million a year. This salary is a lot compared to the other Inter Miami players besides Messi. Messi is the top earner of the Inter Miami team as he reportedly earns a base salary of $12 million a year while the rest of the players barely reach $1 million yearly.
