Inter Miami are also without a manager and are looking to sign Argentine coach Gerard “Tata” Martino, with whom Messi worked at Barcelona between 2013 and 2014. The arrival of the star in the team could facilitate negotiations with the compatriot . The team also has two Brazilians in its squad: midfielder Jean Mota, ex Santos, and defensive midfielder Gregore, ex Bahia and captain of Miami.
In the United States, Messi has to find a scenario that is very different from the one he has experienced throughout his career. Inter Miami also lacks tradition in MLS, having only been founded in 2018. The current season’s league position is not exciting. The team is the torch, with 15 points earned in 16 games. Five wins, no draws and 11 losses. MLS has 15 teams and the regular season ends in October. Even Inter Miami’s home stadium, DRV PNK Stadium, is far from a melting pot, having a capacity of just 18,000 fans.
Messi joins Inter Miami after defending Argentina in friendlies against Australia and Indonesia on 15 and 19 June respectively. The player wanted to define his future before the Fifa date and although the USA team was never the first option, the USA team ended up being the best option because Barcelona are struggling to insert the star in the financial fair play La Liga and Saudi Arabia Arabia seemed like an unattractive destination for the athlete’s family.
