Messi's Debut with Inter Miami on July 21, Says FOX Sports

Once again, the date of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami debut is a trending football headline, media reports indicated on Monday.

It is expected that Messi would make his debut in the US Major League Soccer (MLS) on July 21 against Mexico Cruz Azul.

The tickets for the game were fast sold out, in addition, the prices of the tickets rapidly jumped.

FOX News reported that Messi will participate in his first-ever game with his new team against Cruz Azul.

Fox News added that Messi will receive from $50 to 60 million per season for two years.

Earlier, Inter Miami Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson said that "terms are agreed” between the MLS side and the iconic Lionel Messi, CNN reported on Thursday.

The move of Messi to the MLS side was confirmed but wasn't 100% completed.

Henderson added in a press conference with the new Manager Tata Martino: “With regard to Leo, terms are agreed, but we are working on the paperwork with Major League Soccer."

“Those are going to take time to finish, but we hope that there’s a time in mid-, late-July that he’s ready to go. That’s just going to be up to how he finishes all the paperwork.”

Messi and Martino worked together back in the 2013/201 season in Barcelona and in 2015 with the Argentina national team.
