Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has welcomed Lionel Messi after the World Cup winner signed for Inter Miami and made an exciting prediction for the city.
The buzz in Miami was already high after the Heat made the NBA Finals and the Florida Panthers reached the Stanley Cup Finals, but now MLS franchise Inter Miami have agreed to sign one of the greatest football players of all time. Messi rejected the chance to return to Barcelona and even turned down a world-record contract from Saudi Arabia to join MLS.
It's a ground-breaking moment in MLS history and a priceless acquisition by David Beckham and his franchise. But according to Butler, it's huge for the city as a whole as he expects people from all over the world to come to Miami for Messi.
