Lionel Messi: “I felt called” to play in MLS with Inter Miami

Chief among Messi’s revelations was his longstanding dream to leave a mark in Major League Soccer.

“The truth is that I always had it in my mind to play in MLS,” said Messi, the sport’s most decorated player of all time. “I felt called to come to Inter because it’s a club that’s growing, that’s very new, with few years as a club, and I like the idea of coming and helping the club to become a greater club.

“I believe this is the opportunity to show the world a change and keep growing with the league.”
