Lionel Messi Completes MLS Move to Inter Miami. After months of planning and pursuit, Lionel Messi has finalized his deal to join Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami.
The Argentina superstar’s contract became official on Saturday, and he will be officially introduced by the team on Sunday.
The first home match of the Messi era could take place as early as Friday. While the partnership may seem unusual as Inter Miami currently sits in last place in the MLS Eastern Conference, the signing of Messi is a significant coup for the club.
The 36-year-old striker, considered one of the greatest football players of all time, brings a wealth of experience and success, including four Champions League titles and multiple domestic titles.
The deal is estimated to be worth between $125 million and $150 million in cash alone over two and a half seasons.
