Lionel Messi joins Inter Miami

Posted : 08 June 2023
Following his departure from French champions Paris St-Germain, Argentine football legend Lionel Messi has decided to join the American team Inter Miami.
 
Despite receiving a more financially rewarding offer from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, the 35-year-old Messi was unable to consider a return to Barcelona due to the Financial Fair Play (FFP) restrictions imposed on the club.
 
"I've taken the decision that I am going to Miami," Messi told reporters
 
"I decided to leave Europe."
 
"It's true that I had offers from another European team but I didn't even think about it because in Europe, my idea was only to go to Barcelona.
 
"After winning the World Cup and not being able to go to Barca, it's time to go to MLS to live football in a different way and enjoy my day to day life more.
 
"Obviously with the same responsibility and desire to win, and to do things well, but with more calm."
 
"I was afraid that it would happen again," he said.
 
"I really wanted, I was very excited to be able to return [to Barcelona], but after having experienced what I experienced and the exit I had, I did not want to be in the same situation again - waiting to see what was going to happen.
 
"I heard that they had to sell players or lower players' salaries and the truth is that I didn't want to go through that, nor take charge of obtaining something that had to do with all that."
Despite his desire to make a comeback to Barcelona this summer, the Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations set for the upcoming season in La Liga made it impossible for the talented former Barcelona forward to fulfill his ambitious plan.
 
In 2021, Barcelona was unable to retain Messi, resulting in an emotional press conference as he bid farewell to the Nou Camp and subsequently joined PSG.
 
Later, Barcelona issued a statement claiming that Messi had rejected their offer in favour of moving to Miami.
