Inter Miami CF owner Jorge Mas spent three years negotiating with Lionel Messi to bring him to the Major League Soccer club. Messi, a 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina, announced his decision to join Inter Miami as a free agent after two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain.

The deal was negotiated with Mas’s father and agent Jorge, who also spoke to Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham. Messi initially considered a return to Barca and rejected a lucrative deal from Saudi Arabia’s PIF fund to join Al-Hilal.

The deal was sealed through the Apple contract, which was crucial to closing the deal. Messi is expected to sign a contract with Inter Miami until December 2025, with an option year for 2026. Miami is also expected to make two or three further signings, but Barcelona president Joan Laporta said Messi wanted less pressure.
