Mauricio Pochettino has already made Lionel Messi verdict after $1.2bn decision amid Chelsea links

Lionel Messi will join Inter Miami this summer after choosing not to follow Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia.

Having left Barcelona in 2021 after being unable to renew his deal with the Catalan giants, he joined PSG to form one of the most star-studded front lines in football history. Despite a much stronger second year, Messi has reached the endpoint in France.

He has done a major U-turn in the past few weeks alone, turning down a move to the Middle East which could have brought him an immense $1.2bn over his contract, reports say. Instead, he will be going to MLS and David Beckham's American franchise.
