The co-owner of Inter Miami has revealed that the MLS club will ramp up its security arrangements ahead of the impending arrival of superstar Lionel Messi.
The Argentinian icon is set to sign for the Herons in early July, with the transfer having already having inspired unprecedented fanfare across the US. The 35-year-old, who is considered by many to be the greatest to ever play the sport, will move to the coastal city where he already owns a home to potentially see out the twilight years of his illustrious career.
For context, following the announcement that the departing Paris Saint-Germain winger would be heading to MLS this summer, all tickets to see the World Cup winner in action at away grounds sold out within hours. On top of this, the clamour for seats to see Messi in action for his new team has seen second hand tickets for his debut listed for as much as $20,701 (£16,300) on StubHub.
