Lionel Messi Decides to Join Inter Miami
Lionel Messi has decided to join Inter Miami, with Barcelona missing out on a homecoming deal for the World Cup winner. Messi will become a free agent when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain officially expires on June 30, with the club having confirmed his departure before their final game of the Ligue 1 season.
Speculation over the 35-year-old’s next move has intensified since then, with Barcelona publicly stepping up their attempts to bring him back to Camp Nou. Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have also been pushing hard to sign Messi in recent months, but Guillem Balague has now revealed that he will be embarking on the next stage of his career in America.
Inter Miami have won the race to sign Messi with the help of commercial partners Apple and adidas. The Athletic have reported that the World Cup winner is set to a share of revenue from Apple TV+’s MLS Season Pass, while adidas have offered him a profit-sharing agreement to strengthen their long-term relationship.
