Inter Miami have officially announced the signing of seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi on a free transfer.

The 36-year-old's switch to MLS had been confirmed by the player himself last month, ahead of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expiring.

However, Inter Miami have only just officially unveiled the legendary number 10 as their new player, with the announcement coming just hours before their match against St Louis City this evening.

Messi had been courted by Barcelona regarding a blockbuster return to Camp Nou, where he spent 21 years and established himself as one of the greatest players of all time.

The World Cup winner instead chose to end his time in Europe and move to MLS, where he will link up with the David Beckham-owned Miami franchise.

Messi's contract in Miami is understood to be a unique one in the world of football which will see him earn a share of profits from Apple TV's MLS Season Pass and Adidas' kit sales for Inter Miami.

The Argentina international reportedly turned down an even more lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League, which would have seen him feature in direct competition with perennial career rival Cristiano Ronaldo once again.

Messi is expected to make his debut for his new side when they take on Charlotte FC at the DRV PNK Stadium on July 21.

Messi will have work to do if he is to add to his significant trophy cabinet this season, as he joins an Inter Miami side rooted to the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference after 21 games of their 2023 campaign.

Miami have won just five and lost a league-high 13 games so far this season, while they are winless in their last 10 MLS matches ahead of their trip to St Louis on Saturday night, picking up only three points from a possible 30 in that time.

Lionel Messi only follows four football clubs on Instagram and his former club Paris Saint-Germain are not one of them.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is being unveiled as an Inter Miami player on Sunday at a special event at the club's DRV PNK Stadium, with both Shakira and Bad Bunny set to perform.

Messi is set to earn a whopping £120 million-a-year playing for David Beckham's MLS franchise and has spoken about his excitement over the new chapter in his career.

However, the 36-year-old is yet to follow his new employers on Instagram. With 478 million people following him, Messi is one of the most-followed people on the platform and broke the record for likes when he posted a picture of him with the World Cup in December.

He follows 280 people on his feed and recently fans have noticed that he no longer follows PSG, who he left on a free transfer after his contract expired.

Messi's rapport with the club's supporters soured and he was booed on more than one occasion - one occasion being when he returned from a suspension after going on an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.

I've seen some comments saying Americans don't know Messi. USA may not be big in regard to soccer but there are some soccer stars that 8/9 out of every 10 Americans will know.



E.g. we Nigerians are not big into basketball or American football or tennis but no doubt we know big names like Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Roger Federer etc. Same goes for Americans knowing Messi and maybe two or three other super stars of soccer.

1x2x3:
I've seen random street interviews where they told people in US that Messi just signed for Inter Miami, omo people were asking who is Messi.

That's what these people don't understand... There are lots of top Hollywood celebrities who jog with regular Americans every day, and take the subway trains across cities!

Most of them only feel the need for security when heading out for top occasions where they might get delayed by the press and fans!

Most Americans really don't send at all! They are not all as star-struck as most Nigerians!
