Inter Miami goalkeeper Nick Marsman believes David Beckham’s club is ’not ready’ for the arrival of Lionel Messi.
On Wednesday, Messi’s move to the United States was confirmed as the Argentine chose to move to Florida over a potentially more lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia. He is set to receive a lucrative compensation package that includes a share of Apple's revenue generated by the MLS Season Pass as well as a share of Adidas - who sponsor the league and manufacture kits for each franchise - profits from his arrival in the MLS.
The signing of Messi is perhaps the most monumental move in North American soccer history, even eclipsing Brazilian icon Pele’s transfer to the New York Cosmos in 1975. However, Miami backup goalkeeper Marsman believes signing a player of Messi’s significance and calibre is too much for the MLS club at this stage.
