Inter Miami owner Mas promised Messi to organize a farewell to Barcelona
The owner of the Major League Soccer League (MLS) club Inter Miami, Jorge Mas, spoke about the promise given to Argentine striker Lionel Messi when he joined the team. The words of the functionary are quoted by Marca.
Mas noted that Messi did not have time to say goodbye to Barcelona and his fans in Spain when he left for PSG in 2021. “I promised him that I will do everything possible in the coming years so that he can say goodbye to his fans in Barcelona. Perhaps we will hold some kind of match,” Mas said.
36-year-old Messi joined the Inter Miami squad on July 15. His contract with the club runs until the end of the 2024/2025 season. In four MLS appearances for the team, he scored one goal and made two assists.
Since 2021, the Argentine has played for Paris Saint-Germain. His contract with the Parisians ran until June 2023 with an option to extend for one season. Before this, the forward played for Barcelona. As part of the Catalans, he won the Spanish championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
