Lionel Messi has finalised his deal to join Major League Soccer, and after years of planning, Inter Miami has landed a global icon.
Messi’s contract became official on Saturday, a little more than five weeks after he declared he would be joining Inter Miami. The team will introduce him on Sunday at its stadium in Fort Lauderdale, and the first home match of the Messi era could be as early as Friday in a Leagues Cup match against Cruz Azul.
