Messi opts for Inter Miami over Barça and Saudi Arabia

"I made the decision that I am going to go to Miami," Messi said. "I still haven't closed it 100%. I'm missing some things, but we decided to continue on the path."

Messi's decision is somewhat of a surprise. Many believed he would follow in the footsteps of his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo and sign a lucrative deal with a club in Saudi Arabia. Others thought he would rejoin Barcelona, the club where he emerged as one of the greatest players of all time. But last night Messi explained why an emotional return did not materialise.
