Lionel Messi has recently moved to the MLS side Inter Miami following a 2-year stint at PSG. He wanted to go back to his childhood club Barcelona. However, when there was too much uncertainty in that transfer, he chose to leave European football to move to the United States. Inter Miami are lagging a lot in their performance. They are looking to improve with the help of Messi. They have also brought on his former teammate Sergio Busquets and have approached Jordi Alba.
