Lionel Messi Chooses US Over Barcelona: Close to Joining Inter Miami in MLS

Xtra Time Web Desk : Lionel Messi, the Argentine superstar, is not returning to FC Barcelona and has decided to play in the United States instead. There is a possibility that the much-anticipated homecoming might not happen. Messi has not even considered the substantial offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

According to popular journalist Fabrizio Romano’s report, Messi is close to joining Inter Miami, a club in the United States. An official announcement could be made within the next few hours.

But what kind of proposal has Inter Miami offered Messi to bring the superstar to Major League Soccer? According to multiple reports, renowned tech company Apple and famous sports gear brand Adidas will earn profits, and Messi will receive a portion of that revenue.

However, why couldn’t Messi reach an agreement with Barcelona? As per the news, even though star players like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Gerard Piqué left, Barcelona did not offer Messi the financial terms he desired. On the other hand, Al-Hilal will have to wait until 2024 to potentially sign Messi.
