It is the stunning transfer that has shook the football world as Lionel Messi announced he would be joining MLS outfit Inter Miami.
The Argentinian icon's future had been up in the air, with the likes of former club Barcelona and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal having emerged among the frontrunners for his signature. However, the chance to join David Beckham's US franchise in a city where he already owns a property eventually proved too hard to resist.
The 35-year-old departs Europe for the first time in his illustrious career, having won an incredible combined 43 trophies during his 17-years at the Camp Nou and his couple of seasons at Paris Saint-Germain. On top of this, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner finally won the elusive World Cup he so desperately craved in Qatar last year.
