Lionel Messi has joined MLS club Inter Miami after parting ways with Paris Saint-Germain. Messi will become a free agent from June 30 and the reports suggest that he has rejected a bid from Saudi Arabia which offered him over $ 1 Billion to play in their top league.
As per a BBC report, Messi will reject the lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal and the Miami club deal includes collaboration from brands like Apple and Adidas. If this happens, it will be the first time the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will play outside Europe. A move to Saudi would have got him to a chance to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Lewy waited a long time, Koundé didn’t play for 3 games. Don’t understand the rush. It hurts, but I wish him all the best at Miami.” pic.twitter.com/PTsvZwvECV
