Messi’s official MLS unveil comes roughly one month after the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner revealed he intended to take his talents to South Florida following two seasons in France with Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

Inter Miami announced Messi’s signing on Saturday, with his contract running through 2025 and will reportedly pay him between $50 and $60 million annually.
