Lionel Messi has pulled off his latest stunning feat: He is headed to Major League Soccer, and joining Inter Miami.After months 바카라 게임 웹사이트� years, even 바카라 게임 웹사이트� of speculation, Messi finally revealed his decision to join a Miami franchise that has been led by another global soccer icon, David Beckham, since its inception but has yet to make any real splashes on the field.That likely will soon change. One of Inter Miami바카라 게임 웹사이트�s owners, Jorge Mas, tweeted out a photo of a darkly silhouetted Messi jersey shortly before the Argentinian great revealed his decision in interviews with Spanish news outlets Mundo Deportivo and Sport.It was widely believed that Messi eventually would choose to play for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, following longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo to a nation where some clubs now are funded by the state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s sovereign wealth fund. Going back to Barcelona, a storied franchise where he spent most of his career, was another possibility.But in the end, he made the call that surprised many. Messi is joining MLS. He said in the interviews Wednesday that some final details still need to be worked out, but that he has made the call to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�continue my path바카라 게임 웹사이트� in Miami.바카라 게임 웹사이트�After winning the World Cup and not being able to return to Barcelona, it was my turn to go to the league of the United States to live football in another way,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Messi said.He didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t take the money. He didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t choose the memories. He picked Miami instead. Messi바카라 게임 웹사이트�s next matches are likely to be exhibitions with Argentina against Australia on June 15 at Beijing and at Indonesia in Jakarta four days later 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and then his Inter Miami debut figures to be sometime in July.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are pleased that Lionel Messi has stated that he intends to join Inter Miami and Major League Soccer this summer,바카라 게임 웹사이트� read a statement from MLS. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Although work remains to finalize a formal agreement, we look forward to welcoming one of the greatest soccer players of all time to our league.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The seven-time Ballon d바카라 게임 웹사이트�Or winner 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the trophy given annually to the best player in the world 바카라 게임 웹사이트� makes his move after two years with Paris Saint-Germain. At 35, Messi has nothing left to prove in the game and filled the only significant unchecked box on his resume back in December by leading Argentina to the World Cup title.Messi has more than 800 goals in his career for club and country, making him one of the greatest scorers in the sport바카라 게임 웹사이트�s history. In more than 17 years of representing Argentina on the international stage, he has scored 102 goals against 38 different national team opponents 바카라 게임 웹사이트� 16 of those goals coming on U.S. soil. He scored twice in last year바카라 게임 웹사이트�s World Cup final against France, a match that officially ended 3-3 with Argentina prevailing in penalty kicks.He has been to the absolute mountaintop of the game.And now he comes to MLS, and a team that is struggling 바카라 게임 웹사이트� last place in the Eastern Conference, just a few days removed from the firing of coach Phil Neville (who was hand-picked by Beckham two years ago).Messi바카라 게임 웹사이트�s decision to play in the U.S. might be the biggest boost ever for American soccer on the pro stage. Some of the game바카라 게임 웹사이트�s biggest names 바카라 게임 웹사이트� Pele, Thierry Henry, Beckham himself 바카라 게임 웹사이트� have come to the U.S. toward the end of their careers, but landing a player still no worse than near the pinnacle of his game and just a few months removed from hoisting a World Cup is simply huge.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is obviously the biggest signing that they've brought in,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said U.S. men's national team player Walker Zimmerman, who plays in MLS for Nashville SC. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It's kind of reminiscent of Beckham when he came originally. You saw how the league has kind of changed in the 15 years since he arrived, and hopefully 15 years from now we're seeing all the growth from this addition to the league. I think it's a great thing. I think it'll be great for the sport in this country, especially ahead of the 2026 World Cup. And I'm excited to play against him.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It took months of negotiations with MLS, the Inter Miami ownership, Adidas and even Apple getting involved in a creative pitch to bring Messi to Miami바카라 게임 웹사이트�s pitch. Apple 바카라 게임 웹사이트� which is a broadcast partner of MLS 바카라 게임 웹사이트� announced Tuesday that it will show a still-untitled four-part documentary series 바카라 게임 웹사이트�featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes access to global superstar Lionel Messi. ... In his own words, Messi tells the definitive story of his incredible career with the Argentina national football team, providing an intimate and unprecedented look at his quest for a legacy-defining World Cup victory.바카라 게임 웹사이트�And now, his story will have a Miami chapter.Inter Miami needed six years from inception to playing its first match, and its first four seasons have been less than stellar.Messi is joining a team that sits last in the Eastern Conference and just fired its coach. It has made the playoffs in two of its first three seasons but has yet to finish a season with a winning record or even a positive goal differential.Still, there have been hints for months that Miami remained very much in the Messi sweepstakes. Messi met with Inter Miami co-owner Beckham this spring, and that was shared publicly almost to ensure that everyone knew the sides were still talking. Messi and his family also own several pieces of luxury real estate in South Florida, and 바카라 게임 웹사이트� almost as if to suggest something big was coming 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the MLS club told fans the only way they could get tickets for the second half of this season was to purchase a season-ticket package.He바카라 게임 웹사이트�s an enormous draw everywhere on the globe, including Miami. Two days after Argentina won the World Cup, Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry sat on his team바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bench for a game unable to play because of injury. He wore a Messi jersey that night.Inter Miami still plays home matches in a temporary home in Fort Lauderdale, about 45 minutes north of the site in Miami where the team wants to build a permanent complex.And even in an area where the population has a serious Latin flavor, and where more people might actually call the sport futbol than soccer, Inter Miami has struggled to generate the same attention as do the area바카라 게임 웹사이트�s primary pro teams 바카라 게임 웹사이트� basketball바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Heat, baseball바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Miami Marlins, football바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Miami Dolphins and hockey바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Florida Panthers.Messi could change that in an instant. In a flash, he becomes the biggest name in MLS and makes everything Miami does newsworthy.His decision ends what has been a wild saga. Barcelona made Messi a superstar, but the financial issues that forced the team to letting him go two years ago still remain an issue.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I heard that they'd have to sell players or lower players' salaries and the truth is, I didn't want to go through that,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Messi said Wednesday.There are no financial issues with Saudi Arabia, and speculation that he would end up there intensified when Messi made an unauthorized trip to the kingdom. PSG suspended him and some fans turned on him, serenading him with jeers toward the end of his season with the French club.Everyone knew he wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be back with PSG. Few likely thought he was heading to Miami. But here he is, a move to Miami by a superstar that might even be more shocking than LeBron James arriving to join the Heat 13 years ago.___AP Soccer Writer Ronald Blum contributed to this report.
