The article from Daily Mail Sport (@mailsport) on Threads provides an update on Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS). Messi and his family have been on vacation in the Caribbean, and he shared some final pictures before heading to Miami to complete his move. It is widely reported that Messi is set to land in Miami on Tuesday to finalize his two-and-a-half-year contract with David Beckham’s MLS team, with the announcement expected to be made on Thursday.
Messi’s move to Inter Miami is expected to be worth between $50m-$60m per year, with the contract partially funded by adidas and Apple. Adidas will pay Messi a share of the Miami shirts they sell with his name on the back, while Apple will pay him for the subscriptions to MLS upon his arrival. Messi’s first game for Inter Miami is set to be on July 21, in the newly-formed Leagues Cup against Mexican team Cruz Azul.
Inter Miami urgently needs an injection of star quality, as the team is currently last in the MLS Eastern Conference, hasn’t won in 10 games, and is eight points away from the playoffs. Beckham has expressed his pride at the signing, saying he has always been committed to bringing the best players to his team. Messi’s move to Inter Miami has generated significant excitement among soccer fans in the United States and around the world.
The 36-year-old is set to sign a two-and-a-half year contract with David Beckham’s MLS team, with the option for a third season in the United States.
