Argentine artist Maximiliano Bagnasco paints a giant mural of international soccer star Lionel Messi in Wynwood, Miami’s art district, in Miami, Florida on July 10, 2023. AFPPIX: Argentine star Lionel Messi landed in Florida on Tuesday ahead of putting the final touches on his move to US Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.
“We are happy with the decision we made. Prepared and eager to face the new challenge, the new change,“ Messi said in an interview with Argentine TV show, Llave a la eternidad, released on Tuesday. MLS hope that Messi will massively increase the profile of the league and boost subscriptions to their streaming broadcast deal with Apple TV. Ticket prices for games likely to involve Messi have already sky-rocketed.
“For us, Messi coming means everything, wherever he goes there is always incredible happiness,“ he said, while standing by a banner declaring ‘We are waiting for you Messias”.Messi's arrival will also add to the momentum around the sport ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States along with Canada and Mexico.
Another former Barca player, Spanish full-back Jordi Alba, has also been strongly linked with a move to the team, which is co-owned by former England and Manchester United star David Beckham. But the club are in the semi-finals of the US Open Cup, where they have been drawn against league-leaders FC Cincinnati.
