Lionel Messi is expected to make his Inter Miami debut on July 21 in the team's game against the Mexican Cruz Azul, reports claimed on Monday.
The owner of the Mexican club told reporters that this game is one of the top highly anticipated MLS matches ever.
Messi signed with Inter Miami for two seasons and half for up to $150 million, the contract includes revenue-sharing agreements with Apple, Adidas, and sports retail company Fanatics.
Messi’s move from the MSL was confirmed by the FIFA World Cup winners' captain this month.
The impact of Messi’s arrival was immediately felt. The tickets for Inter Miami matches were quickly sold out.
The cheapest ticket for Miami’s September match against MLS champions Los Angeles FC jumped from $81 to $599.
