  • "I've taken the decision that I am going to Miami," Messi told newspapers Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo.

Argentina legend Lionel Messi will join American side Inter Miami after his exit from French champions Paris St-Germain.

Messi, 35, had a more lucrative offer from the Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal while a return to Barcelona became an impossibility because of Financial Fair Play (FFP) limitations.

"I've taken the decision that I am going to Miami," Messi told newspapers Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo.

"[I decided] to leave Europe."

"It's true that I had offers from another European team but I didn't even think about it because in Europe, my idea was only to go to Barcelona."
