After "two difficult years" at PSG, Messi goes to the United States: "I made the decision to go to Miami"

The American dream for Lionel Messi. Eager to return to FC Barcelona, ​​​​as his father and representative Jorge Messi said, and courted by the Saudi club Al-Hilal, with a pharaonic offer of up to… 500 million euros a year (! ), the seven-time Argentine Golden Ball finally chose to respond to the sirens of MLS and Inter Miami dear to David Beckham. The person concerned confirmed this on Tuesday in an interview with two Catalan media (SPORT, Mundo Deportivo), shortly after a tweet that already left no room for doubt from the owner of the American club, Jorge Mas.

“I made the decision to go to Miami. It's not 100% done. There are still some things (to be settled) but we have decided to continue on the path. In case of failure of the Barcelona track, I wanted to leave Europe, get out of the spotlight and think more about my family, "said the player, marked by two "difficult" years at Paris-SG, he who was at the end of contract and which should receive a little less than 50 M€ per year on the side of Florida according to the information of the radio RMC.

In Miami, he will play alongside French striker Corentin Jean, who passed through Troyes, Toulouse, Lens and Monaco. The now ex-Parisian could especially be joined by several of his former teammates at Barça, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, all courted by Miami according to various sources.

By joining MLS, Messi will follow in the footsteps of Beckham, Thierry Henry, Kaka, Andrea Pirlo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and even Wayne Rooney in recent years. Brazilian legend Pelé also played in the land of Uncle Sam in the 1970s, under the colors of New York Cosmos, a North American Soccer League (NASL) club. In the United States, the native of Rosario will have the opportunity to continue to evolve in an environment competitive enough to hope to play the next Copa America in the best conditions. And the next World Cup, in 2026, too?

Messi remains on a season with 21 goals and 20 assists in 41 matches with Paris-SG. Not enough to enter the hearts of the supporters, who still whistled him until the ceremony for the presentation of the French champion trophy last Saturday, at the Parc des Princes. No doubt he will be full of love in the United States…
