Lionel Messi will soon join Inter Miami after agreeing terms with the Major League Soccer club owned by David Beckham.
Messi will instantly become the greatest player to ever play in MLS, and after Beckham boosted the popularity of the league when signing for Los Angeles Galaxy back in 2007, he's signed an icon of the game to keep the momentum going. Messi's arrival will focus a lot more attention on MLS, even though it continues to be the fastest growing soccer league in the world.
The signing could influence other players to target the United States and Canada, and Messi joins an elite list of players to make the move after Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Gareth Bale all traded their European clubs for MLS. But Messi could well be joined in Miami by two former team-mates, after managing owner Jorge Mas sent out a transfer hint.
