Inter Miami have confirmed one of the biggest transfers of all-time as Lionel Messi prepares for his official presentation on Sunday, July 16.
The 36-year-old announced back on June 7 that he would be leaving PSG at the end of his contract in the French capital to pursue a move to the United States. It is the first time Messi will play for a club outside of Europe in his professional career.
Messi achieved World Cup glory with Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and then proceeded to wrap up his contract with French club PSG, where he was unable to deliver the coveted Champions League title.
When his contract expired on June 30, Messi was free to choose his next club, opting for Inter Miami and Major League Soccer despite interest from Al Hilal and Barcelona. Inter publicly confirmed the transfer on July 15.
