Messi joins Aguero\u2019s KR\u00dc Esports as co-owner KR\u00dc EsportsKR\u00dc Esports has announced that world-famous soccer player Lionel Messi has joined the organization as a co-owner. KR\u00dc Esports now has another decorated soccer player in ownership as the organization announced that Sergio Ag\u00fcero will now co-own the company alongside Lionel Messi. Ag\u00fcero founded the organization a year before he retired from professional play. The esports organization is involved in Valorant and Rocket League and has a handful of creators signed to its brand. The Argentinian organization has a partnership slot in VCT Americas and qualified for the Rocket League and Valorant World Championship in 2023. Ag\u00fcero was in attendance at both events, supporting the teams. He\u2019s additionally streamed and been involved in many activations for the company. \u201cI am happy to share a club with Leo, of course now in a new stage and with other challenges. It is an honor that he is part of KR\u00dc. He is the best footballer in history, and also a great friend. His presence is relevant because he projects values such as perseverance, humility, and resilience. He is a figure that inspires everyone and will be a great contribution to the scene in general,\u201d Ag\u00fcero said in a press release. Messi joins with Sergio Ag\u00fcero in KR\u00dc Esports ownership Much like Ag\u00fcero in 2021, Messi is nearing the end of his illustrious soccer career. The Argentinian international player signed with MLS side Miami FC in July 2023 on a two-year contract. Many expect the player to retire from the game after his multi-million dollar contract expires. Since his arrival at the club, Messi has been a big draw for MLS fans and onlookers as his name has caused ticket sales for Miami to sore. KR\u00dc Esports hopes to capitalize on his brand in a similar fashion, as the addition of another legendary, world-renowned owner should give the company\u2019s brand a significant bump. Messi now joins the likes of Gerard Piqu\u00e9, Virgil Van Dijk, Jesse Lingard, and David Beckham as soccer stars with esports organizations as a part of their portfolios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
