Lionel Messi will join David Beckham's club Inter Miami CF in the North American Major League Soccer. "I will not return to Barcelona, I will go to Inter Miami," said the 35-year-old.
Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal Riyadh allegedly offered an annual salary of between €300 million and €500 million. Corporate deals with the sporting goods manufacturer adidas and the US technology giant Apple are said to have made Messi's move to Florida palatable to him.
