The question of when Lionel Messi makes his debut remains very much up in the air.
The secondary transfer window for MLS opens up on July 5, which means that is the first day Messi would be available. Miami has away games on July 8 and July 15 before playing at home on July 21 and July 25 in the Leagues Cup, MLS’s new venture with Liga MX. Should Miami advance out of that group stage, they would have more Leagues Cup games. Their next MLS home game is not until Aug. 20, at home against Charlotte FC. Then they play on the road at New York Red Bulls before welcoming Nashville SC to Ft. Lauderdale on Aug. 30.
One source briefed on league discussions floated that July 21 Leagues Cup game against Cruz Azul as a possible debut. Tickets for that game have since sold out. Other sources have suggested Messi would wait to debut in regular-season MLS play, which would keep him off the field until late August. The decision undoubtedly will have a huge impact on fans who already started snatching up tickets for the games beginning with that July 8 road match in D.C.
