Inter Miami is set to sign Lionel Messi: Reports

According to the BBC, Lionel Messi will join Major League Soccer club Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. He turned down a lucrative opportunity to join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and compete alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, according to the source.

The article also puts an end to rumors about the Argentine legend returning to his childhood club Barcelona. The deal will be a significant boost for American soccer, which has attracted superstars such as Pele, Beckham, and Thierry Henry over the years, but getting Messi may necessitate something unique from both the league and the Miami squad.

Messi, 35, joined PSG in 2021 after leaving Barcelona after 17 seasons in which he helped the Catalan club win 35 titles, including four Champions divisions, ten Spanish divisions, and seven Copa del Reys.

Messi won a record six Ballon d’Or trophies as the world’s best player while at Barcelona. He is the team’s all-time leading scorer with 672 goals in 778 games, as well as the best scorer in the Spanish league with 474 goals in 520 games.

Messi was the top scorer in the Spanish League for eight seasons and the Champions League for six times. His 26 goals against Real Madrid set a new record for “Clasico” matches versus Barcelona’s archrival.

Messi appeared in 75 games in all competitions, scoring 34 goals and assisting 32 times, and helped them win the Ligue One trophy this year.
