Soccer world reacts to Lionel Messi’s shocking move to Inter Miami, MLS – NBC 6 South Florida


There’s a new superstar athlete heading to Miami and his name is Lionel Messi.

The 35-year-old Argentine football legend reportedly is leaving Europe behind after agreeing to a deal with MLS club Inter Miami, according to reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Messi, who is widely considered one of the greatest soccer players to ever touch the pitch, has decided to join the David Beckham-owned organization this summer despite being linked to his former club, Barcelona, and receiving interest from Saudi Arabia.

Immediately fans all over the world went into a frenzy about the shocking news:

Even Miami Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa shared his enthusiasm for Messi’s upcoming arrival:

After winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina over France in December 2022, Messi could possibly make his Inter Miami debut at a home game on Sunday, August 20 against Charlotte FC. MLS will be taking a month-long break from mid-July to mid-August for the playing of the Leagues Cup tournament.
