After months of speculation and a widespread pursuit to sign him, Lionel Messi is poised to bring his talents to the United States.
According to CBS insider Guillem Balagué, Messi has decided to play for Inter Miami following his highly-publicized departure from Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine superstar chose the MLS club over a number of other suitors, including his former club of Barcelona and the Saudi Arabian Pro League’s Al Hilal.
Though Messi’s final decision had been expected this week, Miami was by no means the clear frontrunner. Just last week, the 35-year-old’s father, Jorge Messi, told reporters that his son “would love” to return to Barcelona, where he spent the bulk of his club career from 2004 to ‘21.
