Inter Miami will introduce the Argentina superstar on Sunday night at its stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Ednews informs via AlJazeera that Lionel Messi has finalised his deal to join Major League Soccer, and after years of planning and pursuing, Inter Miami has landed a global icon.
Messi’s contract became official on Saturday, a little more than five weeks after he declared that he would be coming to Inter Miami.
“I’m very excited to start this next step in my career with Inter Miami and in the United States,” Messi, who moves from Paris Saint-Germain, said in a statement.
“This is a fantastic opportunity and together we will continue to build this beautiful project. 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,” he added.
The team will introduce the Argentina superstar on Sunday night at its stadium in Fort Lauderdale, and the first home match of the Messi era could be as early as Friday – a Leagues Cup match against Cruz Azul.
