In a significant development for Major League Soccer (MLS), Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has signed a contract with Inter Miami until 2025. The 36-year-old striker, who played a pivotal role in Argentina's World Cup triumph last year, is expected to be revealed by the team in a ceremonial event on July 16.

Messi's arrival at Inter Miami, after his time at Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to generate tremendous excitement for soccer and MLS in the United States. The signing is seen as a boost for Inter Miami, which currently sits at the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference.
The acquisition of Messi, a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, is a significant milestone for the North American League, drawing parallels to the impact of English star David Beckham's arrival at the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007. Beckham, now a co-owner of Inter Miami, expressed his pride and excitement about Messi joining the club, emphasising the shared ambition of growing football in the USA and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
The debut of Messi is highly anticipated, and fans will likely witness his first appearance for Inter Miami when they face Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup. The addition of such globally recognized talent to the team is expected to generate greater interest in soccer and elevate the profile of MLS across the country.
