Inter Miami officials, Messi’s agent deny report that Argentine star has deal with team

MIAMI — Another month, another Messi-to-Miami rumor.

And once again, Inter Miami officials and Lionel Messi’s representatives are denying the report, saying it is premature conjecture.

A report from DIRECTV Sports Argentina correspondent Alex Candal saying that Messi “will acquire 35 percent of Inter Miami and join the team in Summer 2023” went viral on social media. Candal said “the contract is done and will be signed in August.”
