After the transfer of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets is now also moving to Florida. The two former teammates were presented by Inter Miami yesterday.
As expected, Inter Miami have signed Sergio Busquets. The long-time FC Barcelona professional has been given a contract with the Major League Soccer club until 2025.
This means that the 35-year-old Spaniard will be reunited with Lionel Messi, whose move to Miami has been known for some time. Both were presented in Miami on Sunday. It was revealed that Messi has signed for two seasons at the club of former English star David Beckham.

According to the AP news agency, the seven-time world footballer from Argentina should earn between 60 and 70 million francs a year in Miami. This makes him the absolute top earner in Major League Soccer (MLS).
The two footballers played together at Barcelona from 2008 to 2021. During this period, the Catalans have won the Spanish championship eight times and the Champions League three times.

Thunderstorm before Messi performance
World champion Lionel Messi’s presentation in Miami was disrupted by a violent storm. Due to a heavy thunderstorm, the exceptional Argentinian player had to wait around two hours on Sunday evening. Only then could he introduce himself to the almost 20,000 fans in the stadium of his new MLS club Inter Miami.
