Lionel Messi, who has won the Ballon d’Or seven times and won the World Cup, has signed with Inter Miami CF. The Argentine great, who will take up a Designated Player spot, is scheduled to join the team in the next few days. His deal will last through the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season.

Jorge Mas, who runs Inter Miami CF, said, “It is an honor to welcome Leo Messi and his family to their new home.” “In 2018, we promised to build a club with big goals that would draw the best players in the world. A club that would change the way the world sees soccer in the United States and make sure that wherever soccer is talked about, your Inter Miami is mentioned. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of our friends who never gave up on us. Together, we will keep making dreams come true.”

“Ten years ago, when I started my path to build a new team in Miami, I said that my dream was to bring the best players in the world to this amazing city. Co-Owner David Beckham said, “We wanted players who wanted the same things I did when I joined LA Galaxy: to help grow football in the US and leave a legacy for the next generation in this sport we love so much.” “That dream came true today. I couldn’t be happier that a player like Leo is joining our club. I’m also happy to welcome a good friend, an amazing person, and his beautiful family to our Inter Miami family. Here is where the next part of our story begins, and I can’t wait to see Leo take the field.”

Messi said, “I’m really excited to take the next step in my career with Inter Miami and in the U.S.” “This is a great chance, and we’ll keep building this beautiful project together. The goal is to work together to reach our goals, and I can’t wait to start helping out here in my new home.”

“We couldn’t be happier that the best player in the world chose Inter Miami CF and Major League Soccer,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “His choice is a sign of the momentum and energy behind our League and our sport in North America.” “We have no question that Lionel will show the world that the MLS can be a League of Choice for the best players in the game. We can’t wait to see him play for Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup later this month.”

Messi will be able to play for Inter Miami CF for the first time when they play LIGA MX team Cruz Azul in the first Leagues Cup match on July 21. Leagues Cup is a new soccer tournament in North America where MLS and LIGA MX will stop their league seasons from July 21 to August 19 to see which three clubs will qualify for the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup. The actual Concacaf event will be like the World Cup, with all 47 of the top teams from the US, Canada, and Mexico taking part. There are still some tickets left for the match on July 21, and you can buy them here. In their second Leagues Cup match, the Club will play against Atlanta United four days later. Here is where you can buy tickets for the July 25 game against Atlanta United.

We’re very proud that we were able to give Leo an amazing project that will help everyone.
