Lionel Messi is expected to make his Major League Soccer debut with Inter Miami at a July 21 home game, the team has confirmed.
Owner Jorge Mas told selected outlets on Monday that his club and Messi have agreed to terms and are finalising paperwork and a visa. The team confirmed certain details Tuesday to AP, including that Messi will be signing a contract through the end of the 2025 season with an option for 2026.
Messi's contract will be worth $50 million to $60 million per year, the team said Tuesday. He cannot sign until sometime in July, after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires.
