Lionel Messi's move to Paris Saint-Germain is not only having an impact on football but also has economic and financial ramifications, which means good news for NBA legend Michael Jordan.

The former Chicago Bulls player's fortune took a big hit during the Covid-19 pandemic, but with Messi's arrival in Paris, Jordan may recover some of the money he lost.

Forbes magazine showed that Jordan lost about 24% of his money during the pandemic, as his net worth declined from $2.1 billion to $1.6 billion.

But how will Messi's move to Paris affect Michael Jordan?

Messi is one of the most famous athletes in the world, and fans always want to buy his jerseys and sports equipment, and the Saint-Germain jersey from Nike's Jordan.

The "Jordan" brand has been making Saint-Germain shirts since the 2018-2019 season, while Michael Jordan gets a 5% profit for each shirt sold.

It is expected that about 2.5 million shirts bearing the Argentine name will be sold this season, which would give Jordan a large sum of money.

So far, Paris Saint-Germain has sold Messi shirts for about 120 million euros since it was put on sale, and this will earn Jordan 6 million euros in one weekend, and as the days go by, this number will double.
