Leo Messi shared his first images with the Inter Miami shirt this Saturday, one day before he is officially presented as a new player for this MLS team. "Yes, guys. See you in Miami," Messi said in a video on Twitter in which he appears for the first time with the pink shirt and the Inter Miami number 10.
The video also served as official confirmation that Messi will play in MLS and Inter Miami, although his signing was already known since the beginning of June and the expectation surrounding his arrival in the US has not stopped growing and growing in the last weeks.
"The greatest of all time is officially here. Welcome to MLS, Lionel Messi," the league wrote on its official account along with a photograph of the Argentine genius with his new team's shirt and a ball in hand. "Welcome 10", also pointed out Inter Miami.
Messi is scheduled to be presented at a major event this Sunday, July 16 at the DRV PNK Stadium starting at 8:00 p.m. local time.
It is expected that the Spanish Sergio Busquets, who was a teammate of the Argentine star at Barcelona, will also be presented at this event.
Everything indicates that the debut of Messi and Busquets with Inter Miami will be on July 21 in the Inter Miami match against the Mexican Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
The Argentine Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who has already coached Messi at Barcelona and in the Albiceleste team, led his first session as coach of Inter Miami on Monday and this Saturday he will sit for the first time on the bench of the Florida team in his away game against St. Louis City.
Inter Miami urgently needs all the reinforcements it can get to straighten out its season, since it is bottom of the East (18 points after 21 games) and accumulates ten games without knowing victory (three draws and seven losses).
