Lionel Messi sent shockwaves around the soccer world when he announced that he was joining Inter Miami earlier this month, picking the MLS club over a collection of other renowned suitors.
And it appears that the global superstar’s choice is still sending reverberations across the sport, with the latest example coming in the form of another high-profile signing for the club.
Sergio Busquets, a longtime Barcelona midfielder and former teammate of Messi’s, will reunite with the Argentine forward at Inter Miami, the club announced on Friday afternoon. To reveal the massive signing, the team shared a video on Twitter that featured complimentary quotes about Busquets from some of the sport’s best—including Messi—before ultimately revealing that the statements were about the 34-year-old midfielder.
