Argentina legend Lionel Messi confirms to join MLS side Inter Miami.
Argentine legend and World Cup-winning Lionel Messi has decided to join Major League Soccer after signing for Inter Miami.
Messi, whose Paris Saint-Germain contract expires at the end of June, had been linked to former club Barcelona and Saudi club Al Hilal. But Miami seems to have won the race for his signature.
According to the report, the deal includes collaboration with brands like Adidas and Apple.
Inter Miami is co-owned by David Beckham and has occasionally been linked with the superstar.
It could be a major boost for American football, which has attracted superstars like Pele, Beckham, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the years.
This is the first time Messi will play outside Europe.
The German sports brand, which acts as one of the main sponsors for MLS, will give Messi a percentage of the profit derived from his arrival in North America.
Meanwhile, Apple TV, who hold the broadcasting rights for the league in the US, will supposedly give Messi a percentage of the extra subscription fees that he brings with him.
