"Messi decided to join Inter Miami after Barcelona failed to give him any guarantees that he would be able to play in La Liga," said journalist Guillem Balague, who wrote an autobiography about Messi and currently works for BBC Sports and CBS Sports Golazo.
Messi has decided to join Inter Miami, according to journalist Guillem Balague
The information of journalist Guillem Balague was also confirmed by Marca . In addition, transfer information expert Fabrizio Romano also said: "Messi's priority is to return to Barcelona. However, the situation of this club is very complicated. They have been approved by La Liga for a financial plan, can negotiate, but cannot give any guarantee for Messi to be registered."
Messi also received another very strong offer and since April, that is the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal with an extremely generous financial offer: 1.2 billion euros for a 2-year contract, including commercial benefits and being an ambassador for Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
"However, Messi refused Al-Hilal for family reasons. His wife and children preferred life in the US if they could not return to Barcelona, nor could they go to another league in Europe because they did not receive any satisfactory offers. Therefore, Messi chose to challenge at Inter Miami, where he also owns a villa for rent," journalist Guillem Balague explained.
Messi's family would prefer to move to the US if the options of staying in Barcelona and elsewhere in Europe are not available.
Marca also said that Messi will soon announce his decision in the near future. Joining Inter Miami will help the Argentine star receive a high income in the top of the world, about 50 million euros/year for a contract lasting from 3 to 4 years. The American press said that in the deal of Messi to Inter Miami, there was the contribution of sportswear company Adidas and technology "giant" Apple. In addition, if joining Inter Miami, Messi will likely be loaned to Barcelona for 1 season.
