Argentine football legend Lionel Messi is likely to join the US club Inter Miami after his contract with French champion Paris Saint Germain comes to an end.

He will also collaborate with brands like Apple and Adidas, which is a part of the Miami deal.
Media reports suggest the seven times winner of Ballon d’Or is most likely to reject a more lucrative offer from Saudi club Al Hilal.


The Barcelona icon will play outside Europe for the first time. Earlier this week, Messi’s father Jorge Messi met Barcelona President Joan Laporta.

Jorge Messi hinted at the possible return of the player as he told reporters that Lionel would love to return as it would be his preferred option.

Messi quit Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the contract. The popularity of the PSG nosedived immediately afterwards, and they lost more than a million followers on social media sites. It plummeted from 69.9 million followers to 68.8 million.

His two-year stint with the PSG has been largely plagued by one controversy or the other. The fans of the French Club jeered Messi and his teammate Neymar on many occasions.

Messi spent his entire professional career with Barcelona before moving to PSG. He won 34 trophies, including 10 La Laga titles, 7 Copa del Rey titles, and the UEFA Champions League four times.
