MIAMI – Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi has signed a contract until 2025 with Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer (MLS) team announced on Saturday. The 36-year-old forward, who sparked Argentina to a World Cup title in 2022 in Qatar, is set to be unveiled by the team...
“The idea is to work together to achieve the objectives we set and I’m very eager to start helping here in my new home.”
Messi’s debut is planned for Friday, when Inter Miami will host Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup, a revamped competition between MLS and Mexican league teams. It is the biggest boost for the North American league since former England star David Beckham, now a co-owner of Inter Miami, joined the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007.“Ten years ago, when I started my journey to build a new team in Miami, I said that I dreamed of bringing the greatest players in the world to this amazing city,” Beckham said in a statement.
“Today, that dream came true. The next phase of our adventure starts here and I can’t wait to see Leo take to the pitch.”
