Free after the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi is preparing to join Inter Miami. The Argentinian midfielder did not want to wait for FC Barcelona. But within his new team, the former Blaugrana may have something to remember Catalan memories.
By opting for Inter Miami, Lionel Messi managed a nice counterpoint. The Argentinian was rather expected at FC Barcelona which, despite its problems with the financial fair play of La Liga, seemed determined to recover it this summer. The situation seemed ideal as the playmaker will soon be free after the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Finally, the Pulga did not want to wait for Barça. And did not favor the financial aspect either.
Messi with other ex-Blaugrana?
Lionel Messi has indeed rejected gigantic offers from Saudi Arabia to join Inter Miami, only 15th and last in Major League Soccer. Hence the mockery of his friend Sergio Agüero. ” We talked, I sent her the MLS standingstold the former striker to ESPN. I said to him: “Listen to me, your team is last, you better make it climb to ninth or eighth place to participate in the play-offs.” He laughed, and said to me: “what are you going to teach me?” With me, he laughs… But he also said: “We are going to play-offs, we have to participate”. »

Confident, Lionel Messi may have received sporting guarantees from his future leaders. We can think that the American franchise will try to put its star in the best conditions. That’s why Inter Miami are trying to win over two of their former Barcelona teammates. If center-forward Luis Suarez has decided to stay at Grêmio, left-back Jordi Alba and midfielder Sergio Busquets, out of contract at Barça, are coveted by the Florida management. And of course, the presence of the sevenfold Ballon d’Or represents a good argument in the discussions.
