The presence of Messi in Inter Miami has undoubtedly influenced Busquets’ decision. There have also been rumors of Jordi Alba potentially joining the team. While Alba initially denied any connection between his future and Messi’s, it seems unlikely now.
An official announcement from the MLS and Inter Miami is expected soon. The details of Messi’s contract with the club are still being finalized. The second half of the 2023 MLS season promises to be thrilling, especially for Inter Miami, who currently sits at the bottom of their West Zone and faces slim chances of qualifying for the Play-Offs.
When Will Messi Make His Debut?
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, it is anticipated that Messi will make his debut on July 21.
