REPORTS STATE THAT MESSI WILL JOIN INTER MIAMI.

According to rumors from the BBC, star striker Lionel Messi is prepared to sign with Inter Miami of Major League Soccer.

According to sources, the Miami agreement calls for working with companies like Apple and Adidas.

Messi played for French champion Paris Saint-Germain for the previous two seasons. He scored 32 goals in 75 appearances for the team and finished the Ligue 1 campaign with 16 goals and 16 assists.

Messi selected Inter Miami despite strong rumors linking him to Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League. Messi is a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Barcelona would have been the Argentine’s first choice, but the Financial Fair Play rules in Spain’s top division have rendered the ambitious plan all but impossible.

After 21 years with the club, he left Barca in 2021 due to the organization’s financial difficulties. Messi won 10 La Liga championships, four Champions Leagues, and seven Spanish Cups during his stint with the Catalan team, leaving as Barca’s all-time leading scorer with 672 goals.
