Inter Miami Supporters Celebrate Lionel Messi’s Signing with Mural Tribute. Inter Miami supporters wasted no time in celebrating the signing of football legend Lionel Messi by painting a mural of his face on a city wall. In a sit-down interview, the World Cup winner confirmed that he would be joining Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.

After spending two seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, the 35-year-old became a free agent. While rumors circulated about his potential return to Barcelona or a move to Saudi Arabia, he shocked everyone by announcing his decision to join Major League Soccer.

The sports community in South Florida is understandably ecstatic about the news, as evidenced by the quick creation of a mural on the wall of Miami’s Fiorito Argentinian restaurant. It’s no surprise that fans are thrilled, considering that Messi is widely regarded as the best signing in league history, surpassing previous notable players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney, and David Beckham.

With murals of his face popping up, including one painted in Buenos Aires just last week, the football GOAT (Greatest of All Time) is becoming accustomed to being immortalized in artwork. Photographs of Messi wearing Inter Miami’s alternate shirt at the Villa del Parque railway station further demonstrate the impact he has had on football worldwide. It solidifies the claim that he is one of the greatest free agents ever to sign with an American team.

Reports suggest that partnerships with two major MLS commercial partners, Apple TV (the current broadcast rights holder) and Adidas (the league’s apparel sponsor), played a significant role in Messi’s decision. Additionally, Adidas is said to be offering Messi a profit-sharing contract, whereby he would receive a share of any income increase brought about by his participation in the league.

In recent interviews with Spanish periodicals SPORT and Mundo Deportivo, Messi explained his reasoning behind the move. He stated that he didn’t want to go through the financial difficulties that Barcelona was facing, despite hearing that La Liga had approved everything for his return. He wаnted a fresh experience in the United States, enjoying a different approach to football and finding joy in day-to-day life after winning the World Cup. While he will miss Barcelona, Messi is excited about the new chapter with Inter Miami, approaching it with accountability, motivation, and a desire to win while enjoying a greater sense of tranquility.
