He decided to join Inter Miami after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired and declined all Saudi offers.
Messi said: "I'm really excited to start the next step in my career with Inter Miami and in the United States."
He added: "This is an extraordinary opportunity and together we will continue to build on this beautiful project."
As part of his contract with Inter Miami, Messi will reportedly receive a compensation package that includes a share of Apple TV revenue generated from the MLS Season Pass, and a share of Adidas profits since his signing.
