Lionel Messi is Inter Miami’s number 10! Finally, after a courtship that has taken three years, the number 10 shirt of the Miami club looked tattooed on the Argentine World Cup winner. Unlike his time at PSG where the best player in the world was forced to use the 30 shirt, it seems like Messi is truly the man at Miami and all will revolve around him.
Inter Miami is clearly a 2024 project as Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi will try to adapt to MLS in 2023, as other younger signings begin to land such as Argentine Facundo Farías. Nonetheless the Miami side wants to make a splash this season and hope the club can go on a winning streak and sneak into the MLS Cup playoffs.
