Lionel Messi will continue his career in Miami

The star confirmed the news to the Spanish media, on Wednesday, that he had joined Inter Miami in the American League.

I’ve decided I’m going to Miami, I haven’t done (a deal) 100% or maybe there are still things to do, but we’ve decided to move on thereMessi told the Spanish newspaper Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo.

The 35-year-old Argentine played his last game in a Paris Saint-Germain outfit on June 3 after spending two years there.

In 2021, Messi moved from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain due to the Spanish club’s financial problems.

It’s been two years when I wasn’t happy, I didn’t like it. And it affected my family life, I missed a lot of my children’s lives at school. In Barcelona I would have looked for them, here I did it much less, I shared fewer activities with themhe said, making it clear that he now intends to prioritize his family life.

He played Ballon d’Or seven times 17 seasons in Catalonia and some rumours, fueled in part by his father, brought him back to finish his career there.

The attacker has also been courted by Saudi Arabia. And the media claimed that senior officials of Al-Hilal Club tried to lure him into a contract worth 400 million euros annually. Saudi officials even made the trip to Paris on Sunday to try to seal the deal, according to what AFP has learned from sources close to the negotiations.

To complete the transfer, the American club would have benefited from the income generated by the agreement concluded in the spring between MLS and Apple, which offers a subscription to follow the American championship on the Apple TV + service.

This agreement was supposed to be signed for 2.5 billion US dollars over 10 years. On Tuesday, Apple TV+ also announced the highly anticipated broadcast of a four-part documentary series, which traces Messi’s five World Cup finals.
