Sure enough that nobody have been expecting nor saw that coming because if I recall it correctly, neither of the signs were pointing at the Inter Miami CF as people and rumors have been suspecting that it's either Messi will join Ronaldo in Saudi or he will go back to Barcelona until the day of his retirement. But that didn't happen and safe enough to say that people are curious why Miami has been chosen for the legend.
Maybe it should be mentioned that Beckham has been working on a Messi transfer for years now. Those who followed the news the last couple of years likely thought that Messi will go back to either Barcelona or go to Saudi Arabia, but the devil is in the details here. Messi did signal in the past that he might be willing to play in the US and since this topic is about the World Cup 2026, there might be more to this transfer to Inter Miami than just Messi's mood to play soccer in Florida. He will create a lot of enthusiasm and new fans in the US area and that could spark an extra wave of excitement that will further mobilize the masses towards this huge event in a few years from now. The timing makes a lot of sense in many respects.
I only see here that Inter Miami can give Messi and his family peace of mind, sometimes we don't realize how people's lives really are, Messi said that he had 2 years of complete unhappiness, that is, he did not enjoy not being at PSG at all and that was very emphatic, it's just that there you can see that things in the big teams are not always pink, not all that glitters is gold, at least I think that Messi this time opted for something more peaceful and for a happy retirement in football it is not bad, as such, he has already won everything that a footballer can be capable of winning.
