Lionel Messi set to make Inter Miami debut. According to a Miami Herald report, Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi anticipated joining Inter Miami on July 21.
Messi’s debut date disclosed by club managing owner Jorge Mas to a select group of reporters during a conversation on Monday. In the eagerly anticipated match, Inter Miami will take on Cruz Azul of Mexico in the Leagues Cup opener at Florida’s DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Owner of Inter Miami Jorge Mas told the Miami Herald that the team and Lionel Messi, a seven-time world player of the year, have reached an agreement. They are still working to complete the agreement, though. Messi, who last year led Argentina to the World Cup title and regarded as one of the all-time greatest soccer players, stated his desire to play for the Major League Soccer (MLS) team.
In an interview with the Spanish media outlets SPORT and Mundo Deportivo earlier this month, Messi said, “I made the decision that I am going to Miami.” “I still haven’t finished it completely. We decided to continue my journey there despite the fact that I’m missing some things.
The Messi signing emphasized by Jorge Mas, who referred to it as “the one seminal moment” in American soccer history. He is adamant that Messi’s arrival will improve the sport in the nation and contribute to the development of one of the top two leagues in the world.
Mas emphasized the significance of seizing the opportunity and pledged, along with other league owners, to make the most of it.
Mas reassured reporters that additional security measures put in place to protect Messi and the team. For both home and away matches, security measures like dedicated bus transportation and secured tunnels prepared.
Mas drew attention to how well security handled when Messi traveled to the US in the past with Argentina’s national team before the World Cup.
The club has seen a significant increase in social media followers even before Messi has officially taken the field for Miami, reflecting the increased excitement surrounding his arrival. Additionally, as fans eagerly anticipate Messi’s appearances with his new club, ticket prices across the league have skyrocketed.
