The Argentina legend is yet to officially be announced by his new MLS employers but is expected to sign for the franchise imminently following the expiry of his PSG contract
Posters showing Lionel Messi in an Inter Miami kit have emerged in a shopfront in New York despite the fact that the Argentinian icon is yet to officially sign for the club.
The 36-year-old is expected to complete his long-awaited transfer to the Herons in the coming months following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain but has yet to sign on the dotted line for his new employers. However, Adidas’ store in SoHo has been pictured decked out in Inter Miami merchandise, alongside posters depicting the superstar wearing the club’s colours.
One poster shows Messi in the South Beach team’s pink kit, while also showing an image of what appears to be the World Cup winner from the back wearing his customary number 10 – a number that is currently available on the Miami roster. In between these depictions, the legendary attacker is accompanied by the tagline “Impossible Is Nothing”.
Another mock-up of the image includes a thinly-veiled reference to the former Barcelona ace’s upcoming transfer to MLS, with the tagline reading “Impossible Is Coming”, this time around. On top of this, a poster in the store also shows Messi in Inter Miami training gear superimposed against a pink background, along with a message heralding his arrival of “Bienvenidos a Miami”, potentially in reference to the Will Smith smash hit song.
