David Beckham’s Inter Miami finally announced the signing of Lionel Messi and confirmed his shirt number, following the World Cup winner’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain
David Beckham says signing Lionel Messi for Inter Miami is a dream come true.
Inter Miami’s official confirmation of Messi signifies the realisation of David Beckham’s goal to cultivate top-tier soccer talent in the city. Messi’s arrival is also the biggest arrival Major League Soccer has arguable ever seen.
“Ten years ago, when I started my journey to build a new team in Miami, I said that I dreamt of bringing the greatest players in the world to this amazing city. Players who shared the ambition I had when I joined LA Galaxy to help grow football in the USA and to build a legacy for the next generation in this sport that we love so much,” said Beckham.
“Today, that dream came true. I couldn’t be prouder that a player of Leo’s caliber is joining our club, but I am also delighted to welcome a good friend, an amazing person, and his beautiful family to join our Inter Miami community. The next phase of our adventure starts here, and I can’t wait to see Leo take to the pitch.”
