Lionel Messi has agreed to join Inter Miami. The Argentine won’t be joining the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia but has opted to move stateside and play in the MLS.

The former Barcelona player won’t be the last big name to come to America and of course, wasn’t the first. Former England captain David Beckham, who formerly played for LA Galaxy, now owns Inter Miami.

Since the news confirmed that the Argentina captain wasn’t able to agree on a contract extension with former employers PSG, rumours had been rife that Messi would renew his on-field rivalry with Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi went on an authorised trip to Saudi Arabia, which didn’t go down too well with his now-former employer Paris Saint Germain. Arguably it was this move, which hastened the six-time Balon D’or winner’s exit.

After today’s news, which was confirmed by respected journalist Guillem Balague, this won’t be the case in the immediate future. What made Lionel Messi go to America instead of instead Saudi was most likely due to collaboration deals that were on offer with Apple and Adidas and the lifestyle.

The former Barcelona man does have a property in Miami, which he rents out. Owner David Beckham always said he wanted to bring Lionel Messi to the MLS, now the former England captain has come good on his promise.
