Lionel Messi to sign with Inter Miami [View all]

Messi’s future is decided: the Argentine legend will sign with Inter Miami.

The football superstar announced his decision in an interview with sports media MundoDeportivo and Sport on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Argentine time.

“I’ve taken the decision that I’m going to Miami,” Messi told his interviewers. “It’s not a 100% done deal. I’m missing a few things, but we’ve decided to continue that path.”

The former Paris Saint-Germain player will discard a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia and become the latest addition to the US Major League Soccer as a free agent, according to the BBC.

If the agreement goes through, the 35-year-old captain of the Argentine squad will play outside of Europe for the first time ever since he entered the Barça football school at the age of 13 to later become the team’s top scorer with 672 goals.
