LIONEL MESSI will be making his debut for Inter Miami on July 21 when the team takes on Mexico’s Cruz Azul in their Leagues Cup opener.
According to a report in Miami Herald, the Major League Soccer club’s managing owner, Jorge Mas, confirmed that the Argentanian superstar will be making his debut in the opener.
Messi is moving to MLS on a two-and-a-half year deal worth $50 million to $60 million per year with an option to extend until 2026. Messi had left PSG following the end of the 2022/23 season after winning the Ligue 1 title.
“Absolutely no changes in the roster rules. There are no categories or anything that is being changed to incorporate Lionel Messi onto Inter Miami’s roster,” Mas is quoyed as saying.
“I think there will always be a before and after Messi when we talk about the sport in the United States,” Mas said.
