” The truth is that I was very excited to be able to return to Barcelona. But on the other hand, after going through what I went through two years ago, and the release that I had, I didn’t want to be in the same situation anymore. Namely waiting to see what was going to happen and leaving my future in someone else’s hands, so to speak. I wanted to make my own decision, think about me, about my family “said Lionel Messi about the negotiations with Barça. For the rest of his career, and even if nothing is definitively signed, the Argentine world champion has decided in favor of David Beckham’s club, Inter Miami. ” I made the decision to go to Miami. I still haven’t validated it one hundred percent. There are still some things missing, but we decided to continue our way to Miami », said the former PSG player. The latter also admitted not having had the life he wanted during his two years spent in Paris, in particular for family reasons.
