Inter Miami go to extreme lengths to prepare for Lionel Messi debut

Inter Miami has expanded its temporary stadium ahead of Lionel Messi's landmark arrival, with the Argentina icon's unveiling imminent.

The World Cup winner jetted into Fort Lauderdale earlier this week after spending the beginning of the month on holiday with his wife and their three children in the Caribbean. However, duty now calls for the 36-year-old as he begins a new chapter in MLS after spending the previous years of his career in Europe with Barcelona and PSG.

An official welcoming ceremony is set to take place at DRV PNK Stadium on July 16, in a spectacle that is set to involve performances from entertainers and speeches. In fact, the powers-that-be at the Vice City outfit are lining up pop superstar Shakira, as well as rapper Bad Bunny to perform at the event, according to reports.
