REVEALED: Inter Miami ‘plan to unveil Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets at their stadium on July 16’ as MLS gears up for the arrival of two of football’s biggest stars
Inter Miami hopes to officially unveil Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets on Sunday, July 16 at their DRV PNK stadium.
Messi and Busquets are MLS-bound, with the legendary pair destined to reunite in David Beckham’s franchise after their all-conquering time together in Barcelona.
Messi’s imminent arrival will fuel an explosion of interest in Major League Soccer and his close friend Busquets, it was announced on Friday, has chosen to follow him to the United States.
Mundo Deportivo in Spain say Miami wants to hold the ceremony to celebrate the duo’s signing on July 16, a day after their away game against St. Louis in MLS.
Speaking in Argentina, Messi said of his impending MLS move: “There will be a few days of vacation and then I’ll start in my new city, my new club – I’m very excited.”
Miami appeared to be teasing Messi’s new jersey number in an Instagram post celebrating his 36th birthday on Saturday.
The team tagged Messi in an Instagram image that read “Feliz Cumple” — Spanish for “happy birthday” with the “le” painted at the end to look like the number “10.”
