Lionel Messi confirms Inter Miami move

1. he says "I didn't want other players to take a pay cut"
   he means "I didn't want to take a pay cut"

2. Bet Phil Neville is spewing he got sacked before coaching

3. Now I can watch Messi play if Inter Miami come to play with Toronto FC? Nice

4. Still not as big as Zava signing with Richmond

5. So you go from a midfield with Xavi and Inesta to a midfield with Harvey Neville??

6. He's joining when the new season starts and that's not until February. So he'll most likely join a European club up until the end of the year or maybe even around end of November early December. After the ballon dor winner is announced, he'll probably take a break up until pre season for inter miami

7. Can't believe that he's living European pitch

8. Ronaldo was still playing in Real Madrid winning ucl’s at the same age ??‍♂️ ?

9. I want to immediately buy tickets for the next Charlotte fc vs intern Miami game in the Bank of America stadium on October 21

10. Why didn't he just accept a paycut and join Barcelona

11. isnt he not gonna try to break ronaldo's all time champions league record

12. ?

13. The word soccer fucks with my guts

14. Wow i appreciate the love messi receive but wow cr7 was crucified for going to saudi

15. More wins, joy and peace to Messi by God's grace in MLS.

16. America can never be the best place to raise kids. I don't care what anyone tells me . Messis son coming home and saying "dad I'm trans now"

17. MLS Soccer is growing well… in 15yrs MLS may be at Per with the the big boys of Europe, my opinion though!

18. Great move. I'm sure Messi is well aware that he's close to the twilight of his career, and wants to go somewhere where he's not under pressure.

19. He should have went to Saudi Arabia and cashed in.

20. I have to be okay with this i guess…

    Atleast he didn't go to Saudi Burka league

21. The idea that Messi didn't care about money is wrong. If he didn't care about money, he would have waited until the end of the transfer window to announce his decision to leave Barcelona. Instead, he announced it at the start of the window, which suggests that he was motivated by money.

    People who think that Messi rejected Al Hilal's $400 million offer and chose to go to MLS instead are also wrong. Messi has a number of business interests in the United States, including stakes in Adidas and Apple TV. He also has the option to buy a percentage of an MLS team in the future.

22. ???Last saudi bid was:
    $1.71 billion for two years + Messi keeps all commercial revenue?‍??‍??‍? Still, Messi said NO???

23. Listen man,talk all you want talk,MLS is a ghost town and America isn't a football country either,so from football to soccer

24. Bravo Lionel good choice for u and you family well done ?❤️

25. Just like Stanley from The Office, in Florida we'll get Florida Messi

26. Its forever. He will get more money to do less work. You don't leave jobs like that.

27. He proves nothing in europe. If he hasn't won his FIRST wc, he is nothing ???

28. its MessiLS

29. Should have gone Saudi…
    There's no love in the US

30. He wanted to get out of the spotlight so he picked MLS ??????. Says it all about MLS

31. No one will boo him there. Thats for sure. Unless psg ultras buy tickets and fly to miami for the first game there?

32. It's likely Messi received permission from MLS in this contract for very inexpensive expansion team ownership which is what Beckham did and he made like $600,000,000 from that sweet sweet deal

33. poor barca fans ???

34. messi is just in for the final pay. He knows he sucks now and going to barca will eventually sour as his fitness cannot keep up and he wont take a big pay cut. Mbappe made messi look good at PSG, with his running and finishing. Messi wlll flop at MLS bottom club, no one is good enough to finish goals like Mbappe

35. Did messi actually say he didnt want other players to starve taking pay cuts to pay for him or is that just propaganda

36. Could be a political move as well. Being close to the folks he’s been associating with in recent years, people in Argentina targeting him and his family, it makes sense to have ties in the US should he need find refuge. It won’t be total immunity but at least it makes things harder for things to happen to his family and him. Only need to look at Sukur to see that things can change very quickly when you associate so closely with power hungry folks. More time in Barcelona is not going to offer the same sorts of future political protection

37. So at least in Saudi Arabia they play Football. MLS and Soccer this not Football anymore ?

38. Ronaldo goes to AL Nassr he cares about money then Messi wants an ownership stake and it's all normal..

39. The Messi & Ronaldo show is officially over…when you consider the Saudi ambassador role Messi has, he's probably earning from that side?

40. Good for him .. good place to show his magic over amateurs ?

41. I wouldn’t want my family in Miami either..

42. Clubs should learn from Barcelona how to kick out there biggest club legend.

43. Pessi dog play murica now?????

44. We all remember him and miss him

45. Blah blah

46. Like Ronaldo, he knows career is over. Moving away from skysports media attention to ESPN ?

47. "Really wanted to join Barca" Hes Just like all modern day footballers and just follows the money.. That's what Football has turned into.

48. US needs this cause if Saudi took him Saudi league would become relevant

49. He accomplished everything, time to relax

50. There is only one Messi and will be one forever, I am just glad he didn't go to SAUDI

51. i will support Messi wherever he goes but man that Miami team sucks so hard, yes messi is the best but he aint young anymore he cant carry the team by himself so I just hope they sign some better players to improve the team.

52. Well be has won everything he could've won so it's okay if you wants to get out of thee spotlight and take time off and easy with his family… He doesn't want to face the same sh*t that he faced in Paris… The amount of hate was crazy

53. Let's see who Barca blames for this….the PR machine will be spinning as we speak

54. Guess we going to MLS games now Big up

55. Barcelona, Paris, Miami his wife just likes nice places that's the conclusion bring him to Cape Town next best city of them all

56. Bro said "get out of the spotlight" while going to miami lmao

57. 100 years from now, British people will still be sitting in their miserable little dwellings getting rained on contemplating and fuming over the fact that Americans say soccer while the rest of the world moves on with life and Elon musk’s company sends people to outer space.

58. "Soccer as they call it in the united states" ????Man doesn't look happy saying the word 'soccer'. Frankly I don't think anyone is apart from the Americans

59. Messi = Money! "What profits a man he he gains the whole wide world but forfeits his soul!"

60. Laporta betrayed Messi and Barca fans ???

61. Inter Miami was made by David Beckham and his investment team. The potential of the club is worth millions of pounds the further up the league division. One day it is worth billions of pounds as some of the great clubs in Europe are worth for example Real Madrid and Manchester United. The USA has over 300 million people and more clubs need to be built for the talent of players could be discovered in all types of sports.

62. What a waste

63. Full respect to Messi, not only is he moving to a different league, but he'll be playing an entirely different sport. But knowing Messi, I'm sure he'll dominate soccer just as he did futbol.
    Lookin forward to hearing him speak American and shooting AR-15s !!! Vamos Leo !!

64. phil neville ??????????

65. Can't wait to see Messi playing at the MLS.

66. I don't get it!! Why only Americans call the game soccer and the rest of the world call it football!!! Best you all go get your own planet to leave on!!!!!?

67. Pessi really retired after joining PSG ??

68. Ahh poor Phil Neville ?

69. He knows Barca probably will use the same trick like how he was con 2 yrs ago

70. Easy money for messi a walk in the park for messi

71. MLS are all attracting players at the end of their career to raise their profile try and sign mbappe and haaland 2 players at the top of their game and see if they will join never in a million years

72. I’m happy for Messi. It’s a very clever decision. And also Becks was and still is my fav player ❤

73. The MLS is a "farmers' league" but a good move for Messi. It fits into his age and one has to consider that its in the USA, who will host the next FIFA World Cup. This transfer will not help the MLS in any significant way but will benefit Argentina, Messi and his kids.

74. point me to the MLS..I just became a fan of Inter Milan,Miami.???

75. Right move for him.

76. Bine cā dispare dinEuropaAcum premiile se vor da pe merit nu pe nume sau cā seicul intervine unde trebuiePoate cucerii acolo toate premiile de soccer care oricum nu au importantāSi dacā va juca la fel de dezinteresat ca laParis zboarā repede

77. Natural talent goes to the wrong people.
    He has 3 more good years playing in Europe. All wasted. Shame.

78. I can see Messi is taking the whole world to America not Europe this time right choice Leo Messi ?

79. This whole “MLS IS A RETIREMENT LEAGUE” is such an ignorant and uneducated take. leagues in Europe have scouted the most players out of MLS than any other league in the Americas in the past 2-3 years(yes more than Brazil and Argentina). How can you be a “retirement league” when you have more young players leaving out of the west. Signing players like Messi (age wise) are few and far in-between like in the earlier years of MLS. MLS is predominantly a league filled with young players.

    Premier league and other leagues in Europe have a higher average age than MLS. Are they a retirement league. Lol. The ignorance in some people are laughable.

80. Nick Marsman will sign his shirt if hes lucky

81. Messi was obviously unsettled at PSG and maybe he just need a break

82. He said I chose MLS to relax ?

83. Messi retires from Football to play soccer.

84. This deal is the best deal ever for a sportsman. Not surprised he rejected the Saudi's. Barça didnt have enough.

85. Even though he completed football, he still had a great form registering a lot of assists and goals and even competing with youngesters where he was favorite for ballan'dor. He could have played 2-3 seasons more in europe but i get why he chose to live a quiter life and play in mls where he can relax and play without pressure. Goat ? nevertheless, that will never change.

86. Just a cheeky Phil Neville roast at the end

87. i thought he was going to the saudi league they where offering him 358 mil a season

88. Number last team????

89. Plus the US will host the expanded copa america and the following world cup

90. Smart move. Always been more of a cr fan but Messi and his people just make smarter decisions and this is a huge W.

91. One of? Lol

92. What is that guy talking about? Rosario is nowhere a small city.

93. I dunno ask the Italians, Japanese, British pre 1960, Australians and Canadians.

94. This move isnt for money, nor football. This move is for his family pretty much. And he deserves the right to chose that if he wishes.

95. The era of Messi and Ronaldo is officially over

96. wait ,when did this premier league guy join sky sports

97. "the 35 year old, world cup winner…" Love how that sounds ?

98. Messi we love you & if you are happy, we are happy. Wish him the best for all those wonderful years of amazing incredible magic.

99. Everything is the best now this move is the best move when cr7 move to a better league than mls at 38 messi 35 mls lol football world bias

100. It's probably a slightly safer move to go to the US. If he had gone to Saudi Arabia and failed to score enough goals he might have been beheaded or hanged. In the US he runs the risk of being the latest victim of gun crime by a lunatic with mental health issues. So the US was the better option….. just.
