Nashville SC is estimated to be worth around $500 million, as per Forbes.

It’s hard to contemplate that a player could be earning more than the total valuation of a club.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Nashville SC’s $2 million finale
The champion of the Leagues Cup will receive $2 million. The prize per game is $100,000, and the prize for victory is $50,000. When compared to tournaments like Copa Libertadores or the elite Champions League, these amounts are considerably low.
