Messi has more than 800 goals in his career for club and country, making him one of the greatest scorers in the sport’s history. At 35, Messi has nothing left to prove in the game and filled the only significant unchecked box on his resume back in December by leading Argentina to the World Cup title. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner - the trophy given annually to the world’s best player - makes his move after two years with Paris Saint-Germain. “Although work remains to finalize a formal agreement, we look forward to welcoming one of the greatest soccer players of all time to our league.” “We are pleased that Lionel Messi has stated that he intends to join Inter Miami and Major League Soccer this summer,” read a statement from MLS.
Messi’s next matches are likely to be exhibitions with Argentina against Australia on June 15 at Beijing and at Indonesia in Jakarta four days later - and then his Inter Miami debut figures to be sometime in July. “After winning the World Cup and not being able to return to Barcelona, it was my turn to go to the league of the United States to live football in another way,” Messi said.
