The FIFA 2022 World Cup winner confirmed on June 7 to sign for Major League Soccer (MLC) club Inter Miami in a move that is expected to energize soccer in the United States and South Florida with one of the sporting world's best-known figures.
Amid all the speculations of Messi's return to his beloved club FC Barcelona, the 8-time Ballon D'or winner decided to go to MLS to stay away from the limelight of European football.
In a long and stellar career of more than 17 years with his country's national team, Messi has scored more than 100 goals, including two against France in the 2022 World Cup final to help his team lift the title after winning on penalties.
Messi is expected to be joined at the MLS club shortly by former Barcelona team-mates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
The World Cup winner is then expected to make his debut for his new club on July 21 against Cruz Azul in the opening match of the Leagues Cup.
