Why did Messi pick Inter Maimi over Barcelona. Why? American clubs is a place where players go to retire to end their career and be either a coach or a football pundit like Thierry Henry. The only player I know who moved there and moved out successfully to the Italian league is Ibrahimovic who just retired from football. America is not suitable for Messi , he is going to fad into oblivion. What more can I say than wish him the best in the future.

Well, he must have picked Inter Miami to move to over Barcelona for a reason. And it's purely his business. Perhaps he did go over there to retire or he may be weary of competitive football which he would surely engage in if he moves over to either Barcelona or Saudi Arabia and he may just want to continue to enjoy playing football without all the craze and completion attached to it and he he feels he can get that at Inter Maimi.

Even if he would obviously get paid much more elsewhere, he decided to go where he truly wants to go. I wish him all the best and even though he may not be in the spotlight like he used to, I doubt he would fade into oblivion.

I think Messi wants to end his career, now he is 35 years old and physically will decline and it will have a big effect on his performance, Messi has got everything he wants and now he wants to enjoy the remaining few seasons before retiring, Inter Miami is not a bad choice.
.
many were really disappointed when he didn't move to barcelona, barcelona fans and Messi fans were very disappointed because they wanted to see him play in a competitive league but we have to understand that he is not young anymore and maybe only 1 or 2 seasons he will be able to play in Inter Miami after that for sure Messi will retire.
