Miami. The world of soccer will be watching Miami, a city that is not usually associated with this sport. He will do it for one man, the star Lionel Messi, whose presentation with the local Inter promises to be the biggest party in the history of the American league (MLS).
Yesterday Messi signed his agreement with the franchise co-owned by David Beckham for two and a half seasons, until 2025, and today it will be presented at the Fort Lauderdale stadium and the first home match could come on Friday – in the Leagues Cup – against Cruz Azul.
The club had announced that the deal with Messi is for two and a half years and will pay him between 50 million and 60 million a year – with which the value of the agreement would amount to 150 million dollars in cash.
I am very excited to start this next step in my career with Inter Miami and in the United States, the Argentine said in the official statement. I can’t wait to start helping out here in my new home.
Minutes before, Inter published on their social networks the first images of Messi wearing his pink shirt with the number 10.
Yes guys. See you in Miami, says a smiling Messi at the end of the 40-second video filmed at the DRV PNK stadium, where they are working against the clock to complete the preparations for the great welcome party for the world idol.
The organizers, who maintain enormous secrecy regarding the program, have barely announced that there will be a musical show for which, according to rumors published by local media, they have tried to get the participation of Latin stars such as Bad Bunny, Shakira or Maluma.
The highlight of the event will coincide with halftime of the Concacaf Gold Cup final, which will be played by Mexico and Panama in Los Angeles, which will bring more fans in front of the screens.
The presentation of the seven-time Ballon d’Or will be the starting point as a new soccer icon in the United States, a country that will host the 2024 Copa América, the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup that will be organized with Mexico and Canada .
