Lionel Messi recently shared some photos from his final vacation before heading to Miami to finalize his much-anticipated move to Major League Soccer team, Inter Miami. In one of the pictures, the Argentine World Cup winner is seen posing with his wife Antonela and their three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. The footballer also shared a separate picture with Antonela, his childhood sweetheart whom he met in their hometown of Rosario, Argentina. Although Messi did not disclose their location, it is rumored that they are on vacation in the Caribbean. Media reports suggest that Messi will arrive in Miami on Tuesday to complete the final details of his contract with Inter Miami, and an official announcement is expected on Thursday. The 36-year-old is expected to sign a two-and-a-half year deal with David Beckham’s MLS team, with an option for a third season in the United States.
Lionel Messi is set to arrive in Miami today alongside his family, marking the final stage of his transition to the MLS.
On Tuesday, Messi and his childhood love Antonela posted the last pictures from their holiday.
Last week, the Messi family was spotted in the Caribbean before their move to Miami. According to Beckham’s Miami co-owner Jorge Mas, Messi is expected to earn between $50m-$60m per year. This income will be partly funded by Adidas and Apple. Adidas will pay Messi a share of the revenue generated from sales of Miami shirts bearing his name. Apple will compensate him for subscriptions to MLS garnered upon his arrival. Messi and Sergio Busquets, his former teammate from Barcelona, will be unveiled on Sunday night at Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium. They are set to play their first game against Cruz Azul, a Mexican team, next Thursday for the newly-formed Leagues Cup. Miami’s dire situation calls for an urgent influx of star power, as they currently sit last in the MLS Eastern Conference, trailing eight points behind the playoffs with no wins in ten games. The situation could potentially worsen with an upcoming game against St. Louis, the Western Conference’s top team on Saturday night. Miami’s new coach, Tata Martino, who also once coached Messi at Barcelona, will lead the team for the first time during this game. Miami has also reportedly secured the services of another of Messi’s former Barcelona teammates, Jordi Alba. This is another impressive acquisition for the team.
David Beckham, who is a co-owner of Messi’s Miami team, expressed his excitement upon the football star’s arrival.
Messi, who recently turned 36, has arrived in Miami as a World Cup-winning player for Argentina. David Beckham, who is proud to have Messi join his team, expressed his excitement about the news. He received an overwhelming number of messages on his phone and was thrilled to hear that Messi had announced his arrival in Miami. According to Beckham, he has always been committed to bringing the best players in the game to Miami, regardless of their career stage. As one of the best players in the world and a game-changer who has won everything, Beckham believes that Messi joining his team is a massive moment for them.
