In the early morning of June 8, Beijing time, in a joint interview with Daily Sports Daily and World Sports Daily, Messi announced that he would join Miami International. Messi: “I’m going to Inter Miami. After winning the World Cup and not being able to return to Barcelona, it’s time to go to the American League and experience a different kind of football.”
In the interview, Messi mentioned his sadness when he was forced to leave Barcelona in 2021, and explained why he did not return to Barcelona this summer. The scene of being forced to leave the team two years ago is repeated, but Barcelona is the club I love all my life, and I hope to return one day in the future.
Regarding the decision to join Miami, Messi said that because he only considered returning to Barcelona, he rejected offers from other European teams. When considering other options, money has never been a factor in his consideration. After winning the World Cup, another way of life in the United States is more attractive to him, and he hopes to start enjoying every day life.
Then the MLS officially issued a statement saying: We are very pleased that Messi has expressed his intention to join Miami International Club and Major League Soccer this summer. While a formal agreement has yet to be finalized, we look forward to welcoming one of the greatest footballers of all time to our league.
After it was reported that Messi would join Miami, Miami’s official social account rose to nearly one million fans within a few hours.
On the 4th of this month, Paris officially announced that the 35-year-old Messi will leave the team after his contract expires at the end of this month, when he will be 36 years old. After joining Miami International, Messi will end his 19-year European career.
