Inter Miami is very close to signing Lionel Messi, according to reports. The deal will make the 35-year old the highest paid player in the history of the MLS.
As South Florida awaits, soccer fans are all on Twitter.
The London Times reports, “It is understood that Messi has a home in Miami and enjoys holidays there with his family. He told Spanish media last year that playing in the United States had always been his dream.”
With Lionel Messi’s PSG contract up at the end of the season, there’s no surprise that suitors are high for his services especially when he has an astonishing 12 goals and 13 assists in all competitions, but one of the suitors who keeps coming up would see Messi come to America.
Inter Miami- owned by David Beckham- has been one of the teams circling around Messi along with Barcelona. According to the Athletic, Miami has confidence that their Club will be the one Messi choses to play next year.
No decision is expected on Messi’s future until after the World Cup, which will be his last with Argentina, but as early as January he can sign a pre-contract agreement with another team.
Once again we can appreciate the attraction Miami is displaying to the best international athletes, in our way to become the global capital for innovation, technology, and opportunity. This is New Miami!
