Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami confirmation likely to be TV event as move enters final stage

The Argentinian superstar is likely to receive a rock star-like reception upon his arrival in the United States and his unveiling could now be shown to millions as part of a dedicated broadcast

Lionel Messi’s long-awaited unveiling as an Inter Miami player promises to be a landmark event in MLS history, with the ceremony reportedly set to be televised.

The Argentine icon’s arrival stateside is expected to be completed imminently after he confirmed his intention to move to South Beach last month, snubbing former club Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League in the process. The MLS summer transfer window officially opened on July 5 but the World Cup winner is still yet to make an appearance in Florida.

As anticipation builds, plans are now in discussion between the US league, CONCACAF, Fox and Univision, which could see a portion of the presentation broadcast during the Gold Cup final.

CONCACAF’s showpiece event will take place at the same time at SoFi Stadium in California, and the USMNT is currently vying to reach the decider, with a last four clash against Panama in the diary.
