Antoine Griezmann shared his thoughts on football icon and former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi’s decision to join David Beckham-owned Inter Miami and play in MLS
Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann hailed Lionel Messi’s move to MLS.
The Argentine icon’s contract expired at French champions PSG this summer and he rejected a move to the lucrative Saudi Pro League in favour of David Beckham-owned Inter Miami. He’s made a sensational start to life on America’s east coast, and now Messi’s former Barcelona teammate Griezmann is pleased to see the impact he has already made.
“He’s an incredible player and I think the best thing MLS has done is to sign up Leo – just for advertising and also for the sports quality,” the 32-year-old told the Daily Mail. “It’s my objective â to end my football career there, to be able to enjoy the league and all the other sports leagues there because I really follow them. I’m a true fan.”
Along with Messi, Beckham signed two more Barcelona legends in the form of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Since the trio’s arrival the pair the team have won six straight games and are in the final of the Leagues Cup – the first final in Inter Miami’s five-year history.
